Wasn't there a news article some years back where a bloke fitted a circular saw blade to a 4.5" grinder to cut a tree stump down, it kicked back and sliced through his neck, he shouted his wife into the back garden but before she could do anything he bled out in front of her
Yes, there was (he was apparently a user on here). And also another more recent user who lived to tell us the tale - more importantly share the warning. This gadget apparently does the same work without the hazard.... OR DOES IT?!
He was a very good and valued member and his wife actually came back on his account to let us know what had happened after the incident. I'll find the post and link it.
Alistair is gone but not forgotten, and will always be remembered by me at least for the advice bestowed and his unfortunate demise This is the link to the post his wife put up after the incident
I hope more people take care of what they are doing and respect the tools they use. Alistair was more than capable of using a grinder but made a simple but foolish mistake that many of us may have done
RIP Alistair and if your wife still reads this then I hope you are doing well.
