kyteler Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I just grind shit sans gear. I don't value my hearing/eyes/hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonK Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Gloves never wear gloves with a rotating tool, tears fingers off pretty easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SP450andLE Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 My safety gear consists of a short-sleeved shirt, some shorts and bare feet/jandals. And maybe earmuffs and sunglasses if I'm hungover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonK Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Was always told that growing up, the old man (a fitter turner)gave me a good slap round the ears one day for wearing gloves while grinding. glove gets caught around the chuck or whatever and makes a hell of a mess rather than a cut.

felixx Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 never wear gloves around steel cables either.. glove picks up a stray strand, hand gets pulled into winch/ block and tackle/ capstan. Saw a guy get lifted 20 feet off the deck then lose his hand that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Star Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Seems unlikely to me... proof would be the cut through the finger of glove I was wearing and light graze on finger... each to their own though I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EURON8 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 thread is shit. re saftey gear though, after working with steel/welders/grinders/drillpress stz err day i am in the habit now of googles and muffs at all time while using power tools. its not hard to put it on and while you may seem manly using your safety squints, its nice to just be able to look at your work without the worry of shit in the eye. maybe its my constant use of loud shit all day errrr day but muffs are a god send. so nice not having the loud BAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR / WHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRR / GZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ screaming in your ear. add earphones and Dre/radio and i could wear muffs all day if my welding helmet would fit over it.
