It is amazing what a tool can do when something goes wrong. I had the grinding wheel on a KO Lee tool grinder come apart one time while I was using it. Figure the wheel was 6 inches in diameter and maybe 3/4 thick and weighed about 1 pound total. Bad thing was it turnes at a pretty high RPM and when it came apart part of it stayed on the spindle. The grinder probably weighs about 500 - 600 pounds and it was dancing across the floor like it was a paper bag in a wind storm. It really made me think about guards over the wheels, etc, especially when I found out the piece that came off traveled nearly 30 feet across the shop and went right by my head on it's way there.......Sometimes we just get lucky...Glad you weren't hurt....
