How not to use an angle grinder...OUCH

Yeah, doing some fab work on Saturday...using an angle grinder with no guard and this is what happens.

Learn from my mistake!

Re: How not to use an angle grinder...OUCH
 

I don't think a single angle grinder that we have at work has a guard on it. And we have a dozen of them.

I've run them for over 2 years daily without a problem, but needless to say if you're not careful you could definitely ---- yourself up with one.

On a sidenote I am getting pretty lame ass response time on replacing my innovate from their support team. I'm gonna take an angle grinder up to their office and grind holes in all their employees.

edit -- that was a joke, its the weekend and they're closed.

Re: How not to use an angle grinder...OUCH
 

WTF did you do? How did it get you way up there? Dude that sucks ass. But looks pretty ------- cool.

Re: How not to use an angle grinder...OUCH
 

Well I can only see a couple ways. Working under a car and dropped it, or leaning over the grinder and falling onto it.

Re: How not to use an angle grinder...OUCH
 

too bad u work for yourself or you could have cashed in on some sick time :6

Re: How not to use an angle grinder...OUCH
 

is that your upper arm?? looks kinda confused.

yea he prob.ly drop it working underneth the car :-X I wonder how that shirt/cloth look like :X
Shouldn`t have bleed too much since the grinder prob.ly "burned" the wound shut.

Re: How not to use an angle grinder...OUCH

Re: How not to use an angle grinder...OUCH
 

cheap grinder disc fly apart??

Re: How not to use an angle grinder...OUCH
 

thats gota hurt bad..

Re: How not to use an angle grinder...OUCH
 

Damn Chris!!! You should have learned from the last time I was down there. Remember the meat I removed when the disc blew apart!!

Re: How not to use an angle grinder...OUCH
 

i call CDM disc FTW
lol

Re: How not to use an angle grinder...OUCH
 

I believe it was. :y

Re: How not to use an angle grinder...OUCH
 

yep, one of your discs you left shattered as i was cutting off a bolt head, standing over the top of it when it blew a chunk or the disc (who knows) flew directly straight up and nailed me in the shoulder

felt like i got hit in football practice by a guy Hotrex's size...looked down, saw blood...immediately ripped off my shirt, pressed it on the wound and had one of the employees drive me to the emergency room

cant wait to see the bill for this mistake... :-X

Re: How not to use an angle grinder...OUCH
 

Cauterizing is the term you were looking for

Re: How not to use an angle grinder...OUCH
 

holy ----. I'm going to put the shield back on mine

Re: How not to use an angle grinder...OUCH
 

ruthless ... :X
Yeh I hate working with dodgy angle grinders almost had my hand taken off once.

Re: How not to use an angle grinder...OUCH
 

I was gonna psot my pics I was a scholar usin an angle gringer and i didnt have safety glasses on well nice chunk of metal landed in my eye spent 2 days in bed with some serious pain. Finally on the 3rd day i wook up my eyes were all teared up so I forced myself to cry and sure enough it came out. No health insurance sucks


Hope you atleast got some good pills

Re: How not to use an angle grinder...OUCH
 

if you use good discs if they break up they go into very small chunks/sand and dont do that, stop shopping at harbor frieght :P

Re: How not to use an angle grinder...OUCH
 

looks like you were aiming for your jugular and missed.........nasty boo boo. get better :-*

p.s. thanks for the basemap

Re: How not to use an angle grinder...OUCH
 

dang send that to your locals schools to scare all the children in shop class. thats going to be a nice battle wound

Re: How not to use an angle grinder...OUCH
 

Dam, that musta bled like a mother fucker. :X
Good thing it wasnt a few inches over and up ehhh. Good to see it wasnt.

Re: How not to use an angle grinder...OUCH
 

i woulda screamed like a bitch

Re: How not to use an angle grinder...OUCH
 

jesus christ, I always take those shields off too. I guess I will have to learn for myself in order for them to go back on.

I had a pretty good scare with my chop saw, a blade came completely apart and my chop saw is also hardwired so ---- was pretty crazy.

Get well soon chris

Re: How not to use an angle grinder...OUCH
 

Damn I would of started crying like a little bitch and probably fell over and fainted. lol. Thats pretty gruesome though. Hows the pinks car coming along?

Re: How not to use an angle grinder...OUCH
 

That better not slow down the ne pinks project.

When you go in to get the stiches removed, ask if they'll give you an addadictomy so you'll stop whining about little cuts and scrapes.






















jk... Glad it wasn't worse.

Re: How not to use an angle grinder...OUCH
 

doesnt look like it did any serious ligament/muscle damage and sure as hell didnt hit the bone

consider yourself lucky.. and use a guard from now on :-\

pictures of the blood soaked shirt/blood splatter on the floor and wall and car are a must >:D


:P

Re: How not to use an angle grinder...OUCH
 

well the shirt got tossed in the biohazard bin at the hospital...there wasnt any blood on the ground or car because somehow I thought fast and keep the blood loss to a minimum with the shirt

i would have like to get a picture of the open wound but my GF didnt show up to the hospital until after the doc got the stitches in

and by no means is this a cry-fest...i certainly got what my stupid ass deserved

any guesses on what the hospital bill will be?

- 3 hours in the ER
- local novacaine anastetic
- 15 stitches, 3 internal, 12 external
- ER charges, bed, room...etc
- doctors charges
- tetanus boosted shot

Cant wait...hope they have a payment plan!

The sucky part is Honda Day is this weekend, I had a couple cars to tune this week and was hopefully going to get my car in shape, but I cant drive with only one good arm

::tear::

Re: How not to use an angle grinder...OUCH

Re: How not to use an angle grinder...OUCH

Re: How not to use an angle grinder...OUCH
 

I'll get drivesfasterthenboys or whatever to start you a fund raiser thread, seems to be working good for that other kid 8) Seriously though your dam luckey it wasn't worse, good luck with the healing. PM me and i'll take a base chip and chip kit if your layed up with spare time to kill.

Re: How not to use an angle grinder...OUCH
 

Certainly no rest for the wicked...not only did i move into my new house, but this week starts the move of the entire XENOCRON operation into my new house basement...new Headquarters with a much better commute.

God I hope it isnt in the $3-6k range...that would suck the motherload.

I better start chipping ECUs a little faster!

Re: How not to use an angle grinder...OUCH
 

go to china and run an ecu chipping sweatshop biz 8) O0

Re: How not to use an angle grinder...OUCH
 

that would be too much of a commute, i'd rather just walk down stairs in my undies :6

Re: How not to use an angle grinder...OUCH
 

Ouch. No medical insurance will own you. I think you can get on a easy payment plan of some sort. Get better Chris.

Re: How not to use an angle grinder...OUCH
 

i thought since youre the top dawg you could pass this work off on some minimum wage fucker and have them play catch with grinder discs. anyway get better, i hope youre a righty

Re: How not to use an angle grinder...OUCH

:P

Re: How not to use an angle grinder...OUCH
 

------- ouch man. Hope you revcover swiftly and that you happened to be the hospital's one millionth customer.

Re: How not to use an angle grinder...OUCH
 

Shitty, only had a 2" Disc on a Die ginder do that once, and it wasn't NEAR that big of woud!

BTW: I love Canadian Health Care, My bill would be ZERO.
