Popped in to see a welder/fabricator friend and he was reluctant to shake hands, took off a glove to show me a bandaged hand that had four stitches in it. The photos show what happened, a broken disc while using a 4 1/2" angle grinder. He was wearing goggles but the thin gloves he had on where not enough to save him from this sort of force. A customer was standing a few feet away when it occurred, could have been much worse. Note - this is rural Portugal, health and safety is a new concept here. Just posting as a warning, take care all of you.
