"I never use a grinding or cutting disc without a guard, I can't believe anyone would." - David

I totally agree David, though I did know a work colleague who did ( believe it or not a firefighter) He removed the guard to fit a larger cutting disc. This broke up at high speed and a large chunk went through his chest, knocking him off his feet and putting a cut in his aorta.

In his words " I felt alright laying there on the garage floor until I heard my mate (another firefighter) calling for an ambulance in the house and screaming down the phone "Hurry up, he's ****ing dying out there!"

He's still here to tell the tale but - Stupid, Stupid, Stupid......
