You guys are freaking me out a little.

A few years back my brother gifted my one of China's finest angel grinders he purchased from the good folks at harbor freight as a Christmas present.

I don't do much metal work so it sat on the workbench.

Needed to trim down some plastic electrical plates for the front house... tried jig and circular saw but chip/cracks galore... so I went acoss the alley to my contractor buddy who suggested a cutoff wheel in my grinder... off to home depot I go and zippity do dah plates all trimmed.

Then the hinges on the old iron gate on the side of the house rusted out and the gate fell off.

Back to home depot for new hinges... get out the cut off wheel to trim off what is left of the old hinges on the gate.

No scary story and I do wear hearing protection and a face shield... did I mention I don't do much metal work? Think I'm going to keep it that way!
