okay I'm going to talk about something you've never heard me talk about before
it's Grindr safety okay winders are dangerous things but here's
the deal for the last 350,000 years our DNA has been making us very aware of
everything that's dangerous around us the problem is nowadays we have
everybody that likes to tell us that a corporation's will tell you hey if you
see something dangerous war on these people yeah but general public just
doesn't need that okay because general public is paranoid enough as it is so
there's no sense of being irrationally scared of things that aren't that
dangerous okay I run grinders without any guards because that's the way I like
doing it there's a few things if you if you're just completely new to these let
me give you some hints here okay they will remove fingers they will open up
the flesh and a heartbeat if you lock one on and some of mine have the ability
to lock them on now they've done away with that but I still love those I love
locking the blade on because I can lock it on and then I can actually position
the grinder and it hard to get to place and it keeps running without me having a
finger over the trigger so for me I do lots of things you know there's a lot of
people that go skydiving and if he ever seen that close-proximity wingsuit
flying
okay it's all there's things in life that are dangerous okay just don't back
away from them because you've never tried them and somebody's convinced you
that it's just dangerous it's not most people exaggerate this completely I'll
give you an example here here's some pictures they were posted up on my
Facebook page by a friend of mine who I admire and adored greatly and they're
not a bad theme it's like you know don't do something stupid with a grinder
that's the theme here but the problem is so many of us are so overreaction Airy
to this stuff we think all you know is this don't let Bobby have a grinder he's
like you know if Bobby cuts himself worse things gonna be as a soft tissue
damage he might lose a finger at worse you know we need these experiences to
grow up in life some of us so it's like it's okay let me tell you some things
just don't do right if the one I always see is on that on this on these videos
is somebody's cutting with a grinder like this and their face is in the plane
of rotation first off there's a lot of hints there if all those sparks hitting
you in the face that's called a clue that you shouldn't
have your face in this line of rotation or any other body part for that matter
the other thing that happens with these discs because people use them like
grinding discs they press sideways on these deer cutoff discs it's a nice thin
blade is meant for cutting through I'll do that every once a while too but boy
I'm careful about how much pressure I put on it and I keep my body parts out
of the plane of rotation for the most part the handle is here the blades here
you crossed your hand over the blade get on the other side of the machine okay
that helps out tremendously so we're cutting into this don't cut up from the
bottom because when you get close to the top the weight of this pipe is going to
go down it's going to pinch that blade close and it's going to bind up and lock
up so you don't want to be doing this you want to be coming down from the top
and then think about okay when I get this cut off what happens to the rest of
this pipe it's now a lot lighter weight so it's gonna slip up was that gonna hit
me in the face the other thing you ought to notice these blades are not heavy
they're also very strong the chances of one of these coming apart is remote I'll
show you that okay I will prove this to you that these things don't come apart
easily and when they do this is not a lot of mass so it doesn't have a lot of
nurses so it slows down quickly it doesn't carry us momentum
from this 9000rpm rotation to hit anything to do more than some minor soft
tissue damage now if that happens to be your I yeah I weren't glasses and that's
enough if you have safety glasses brilliant idea that's enough you know
I've had one guy of all the people that come through here that got an eye injury
I've had one guy he was wearing goggles and a face shield while grinding he
still got a little splinter of steel in his eye probably because it blew in
there or else he took his gear off and it was a nice hot summer day and he did
that he wiped the sweat out of his eyes with gloves that had little splinters of
steel all over him so three days later we gotta get the little thing out pick
it out of his eye no harm done okay but do do the common-sense stuff you know I
mean that's just common sense but try not to tell everybody to be you know
don't be chicken little don't go around telling everybody be terrified of these
things because there's just not that terrifying okay I think all of us need
to have a little more courage and take a little more risk and that's how we learn
and that it's it's an enjoyable tool to use okay just respect it some common
courtesy and respect okay so we're doing a test all right a grinder disc and if
you look closely it has been seriously damaged okay you're an idiot if you use
a grinder just it looks like that okay cuz I cut it with another disc if you're
thinking that that's a good disc you've got problems already and then we have a
piece of quarter-inch steel and some safety glasses maybe I'll get lucky
enough that it will go into the safety glasses I probably will not okay since
I'm intending to make this thing blow up I'm gonna wear some safety protection I
don't know it may come apart immediately but I'm kind of hoping it'll do that and
send something into it okay let's give it a try
all right now I left this knot loose and that's what was doing is just tightening
up because I didn't want the nut to pinch the the blade too much I'm going
to tighten it a little bit because I want this piece of bill to fly away not
just be pinched by the hub trying to make this as bad as we can
all right nothing yet okay now we're gonna have to get dressed okay I'm
cousin glozell so now I'm gonna do to make it break because I'm going to cut
that a little bit deeper and then I'm gonna twist on the blade okay something
you should never do is put sideways pressure on a call late
all right there we go now I'm going to twist it we're getting a little pile up
there on your glasses
Wow yeah okay you're pretty good here not breaking it
need to blade up
okay obviously that blade was not meant to come apart it just chewed it all the
pieces let's try again yeah that's a piece yeah but it's not I mean yeah it's
laying in chunks all over the place has a piece of it too but I was getting
pelted bomb I didn't even feel it this is a Dewalt cutoff disc okay
that don't shit let's see if we get it up our p.m. like that altogether okay
ready
where'd that go that was pretty good
okay not so easy to do yeah I don't think that would have gone through
anything I think you would have felt it I don't think it would've gone through
anything especially safety glasses
yeah 9000rpm cool okay another seriously damaged if you went that way last time
right dude so I'll come over here maybe it'll go that way
are you serious you're broken let me break it some more okay yeah that's
gonna come off okay back over there again
alright now we're gonna find the glasses oh there's the rims and the one piece of
the desk
yes are you serious there's the other piece that where are the glasses they're
intact so they went flying four feet away
I don't think you're gonna pierce glasses so those photos I think they're
a complete hoax I think that grinding disk was put into those glasses while it
was spinning and pressure was applied to get him to cut into it why would
somebody do that it's to scare you because scaring you is the easiest thing
in the world that is what we're wired for food sex and being scared all of
this is why kids should spend much more time on the playground because it's all
physics it's all balanced and if you want to think well I can't get better at
that I'm a klutz no you're not a klutz you're a human being just like the rest
of us all you have to do is focus on it pay attention to it
take some yoga classes learn about balance learn about being aware of your
surroundings learn of those things that is what's going to keep you safe more
than anything else is understanding all the things that are around you and how
they move and how you move among them and take your time and when you stood
you're rushed stop don't be rushed
you
