I know someone who ran a sharpening service who was going to start sharpening ice skates as a side line and ended up chucking a small vitreous china wheel in a router to make his own sharpening machine. He now shakes hands with 3/4 of a thumb since he has no other digits on his right hand and only has a few additional nubs on the left. His face shield while it did protect his eyes did not keep him from loosing his front teeth.KandJinmaine wrote:Not to sound like an old lady or anything, but ....just make sure the cut-off wheels you are using are rated for the speed of the tool ( Dremel or die grinder etc. ). Amazing how easy it is to put a wire wheel rated for 2000rpm into a die grinder that does 20,000. Have fun, be careful. Hard to drive a Fiat or any car with one eye!!

Yes indeed always double check the speed rating and purpose of any rotary discs or cutters before you mount them to ensure that they are rated for the tools speed and usage.
