Stand to the side when turning grinder on, wheel most likely to break apart then if damaged, funny how many machinists I have seen turn it on and immediately get ready to grind something with nose to the wheel. I have only seen one 10" wheel explode, that was on surface grinder, the wheel was hit from the side while stationary. Belt or disk have there place but for hard materials hard to beat a grinding wheel. I remember stoping a lab-tec from de-buring 5" x 5" stainless steel sheet metal on the 24" 3hp disc sander, had the material at about 20 degrees to the disc with the back of his fingers towards the disc and the edge of material near the table, I explained how much would be left of his fingers if the material wedged into the gap of the table, he went and used a file.
