he is probably from that country, lol.

oh here you guys go, this is what happens when you cut through a pipe and the disk kicks back. good thing the piece broke off INSIDE the pipe, although i wasnt able to see how fast it went, lol.

I was just using a disc today for the first time in months and well, after seeing some photos and reading stories on here, I never regained full confidence in those thin little things.

Don't do anything stupid or unadvisible ie. grinding with a cutting disc and you will be fine.

 

[Bluethunder3320]

oh. you mean theres a difference between grinding and cutting disks? Fckk lol

 

[KieranM]

yea cutting discs are thinner than grinding

 

[Bluethunder3320]

wow, i have just been cutting everything with grinding disks

LMFAO FAIL

 

[KieranM]

how the grinder holding up? its alot worse to grind with cutting discs though..

 

[Bluethunder3320]

its actually doing much better than the crappy reviews online.

id say it has 45 mins of use on it and that is INCLUDING the time when i actually lent it to someone at school.

got a dewalt disk and its alot heavier/thicker than the cheap ones so acceleration is a bit slow but it still has a lot of power.

it is getting close to paying itself off. $15 compared to a $120 makita.

 

[KieranM]

oh alright cool.. we have a cheap grinder easily done about 100+ hours, its in bits no spindle lock, rattles and is covered in the spray from the disk...got a dewalt done the same work and its perfect...a big differance in design/quality.

 

[Bluethunder3320]

you could just clean the disk dust stuff off it. i broke the disk lock on my dremel but that was because i pressed it at full rpm to see what would happen.

uhh, yahh it broke. i just cut part of the case open with a hack saw so i need to hold it with pliers to unlock it, but at least i can still use it.

 

[KieranM]

The disk spray stuck and its stronger than the plastic on the grinder...kinda bad ha

 

[Bluethunder3320]

wait, what part is disk spray?

lol, im sounding like such a noob.

 

[KieranM]

just the spray that comes off when you grind/cut..sorry for bad phrazing

 

[fowler]

i just attack it with a cold chisel.
it helps to remove the guard before doing it though.
im glad we have people like blue so we dont have to try stupid things that are so tempting like putting an auto car itto reverse while driving down the freeway

 

[Bluethunder3320]

lol

thanks

im pretty sure it makes a crunch noise and either you blow the tranny or snap the axle.

 

[redsox985]

I think newer cars lock into neutral and shut down. They don't allow that because the consequences of a rogue car roaming child could be so costly.

 

[Bluethunder3320]

Or a toyota...

Did you know all those accidents coukd have been avoided if they just turne off the key??

 

[redsox985]

Throw it into neutral and hit the brakes. But it was in the Prius and we all know that those who drive a Prius aren't the ones to know how an engine works. Just that our nice, torquey 2 strokes are ruining the atmosphere.
