As a new member here and hobbyist maker, I have been pouring through the content of the forums. I read the "grinder table and set up" thread a little too late.
I have a GIB on a 36"-high table and grind standing in front of it. While running a 50-grit A/O belt yesterday, the joint failed and I got the entire experience of being slapped in the face while running at full speed. Thankfully the surprise of it is all I got.
Along with safety glasses and respirator -- I will now be turning my hat to face the bill forward from now on! I wore it backward to make it easier to wipe the sweat off my face. Just don't want to use a 50-grit belt to do it!
I am grateful for the wisdom posted in these pages...
