PPE...and why it's a good idea.

Couldn't find a length of new plain DIN rail so found a rough old piece. Only needed a smidge taken off the end...

Welders gaunlet (just the one), welding mask on the grinding setting and the Rage Evolution saw...I was HOLDING it nice and firm...

Will I ever learn? Saw ripped the DIN rail from my grip and bent it to f***. Whipped it violently enough I felt it through the glove but no damage.



Last time I did similar I took the edge of my finger off. Mind that was without gloves.

Giving up for tonight.

This is what happens when you're alcohol free for 15 days (tonight).

(Lad I knew did similar and it was a Kent Air Ambulance job...still I haven't learnt).

Always treat grinders with respect

Would rather cut stuff like din rail with a 115mm grinder.

Should have cut it with edges down.

Yeah I know but the edges slip under the fence. I got away with it yesterday. Hacksaw & file tomorrow after I've been to CEF. Of course I'll then find the 2m length I've lost.
