    God is great, scrap is good, and people are crazy

    Its better to be scrapping and thinking of God than sitting in church thinking of scrapping

    My helper has an artificial lens and lost most of his vision in an eye due to a disintegrating disc (on an air powered grinder), I have had disc chunks go through Carharts/gloves etc. It is super dangerous, I only use electric now and try to never use thin cutting discs, I have not seen any difference in brands except that the Forney's seem to not disintegrate into chunks( but they wear out really fast).Full face mask is recommended.
