This was a 24" x 4" monster in the railway workshopAnd with any grinder you should always safety glasses.
Now those grinding wheel I posted about are very high grade versions. McMaster-Carr isn't el cheapo supplier as they are an industrial supplier. I use their product weekly in my shop. As for the grinding I use the 6 inch versions and have worn nearly a inch off the diameter before I have to replace them.
I don't many tool items like drill bits or reamer due them lasting so long but buy a lot the hardware item. Much better priced than the local hardware stores and also most of the metric items I need. I currently on the list to buy some 5/16 push rings where Husqvarna is want over $3 a piece for and I be ordering 100 for $12. Once I get them I will stop reusing the old ones. Yes 100 each is a lot of them but I can divide among some fellow techs locally.
A house brick sized bit hit the floor then the back wall then his head .
Another chunk flew down and near ripped his right leg off .
Apparently some one in the stores section had been swapping the good gear for cheap wheels from Argentina then flogging the good wheels off at field days to farmers .
So from then on my grinding wheels , apart from the one with the drill sharpener on it are all pedestal mounted and outside with nothing behind them
Now yes before you ask I have sent a few items into low earth orbit , but I have a lot of grinders and each one has an adjustable steady / rest on the front that is bolted to the grinder and not the wheel guard like on cheap grinders .
