give it time, you'll get some killer scars from grinders if you keep up with using them...
Gloves are your friends.
With the attachment he was using I would disagree because the burs would have gabbed the glove and got his hole hand twisted up in it. But normal yes
I know. I am just glad I was lucky to not have it dig into my finger.
It was an electric die grinder with a Kutzall flame burr. Not an angle grinder. The only time I take the guard off of an angle grinder is when I am using the sander kit that extends about 1/2'' beyond the guard rendering it pointless, otherwise I NEVER take it off. I also always use the little side handle wit 2 hands on the tool. That is the grinder I was using:
I was wearing gloves with the Dremel when the burr caught the glove and yanked it almost off of my hand. Now imagine what a big beefy Makita die grinder could do. You cant really get stuff caught on your skin as much as a glove can. I use my bare hands for woodcarving because it is safer. When I am using die and angle grinders for metal and masonry I do wear thick leather gloves.
Yep. My old shop teacher told us about a girl who caught her hair in the chuck of an electric dill. Anything loose and moving edges don't ever go together.
I did that a few years back and minced my fingertip into bits. it took 156 stitches inside and out, and two metal bars drilled into my entire finger to keep it all together.. but 3 months later I had my finger tip back and you can hardly tell from first look.
That is why you use the proper tool for the job.
What speed were you running it at? Let's just say vertical mills have a very LOW spindle speed compared to a router........
Do the reverse and stick an end mill in a router. (upgrade your life insurance first)
