The grinder is a great way to do rough shaping and really shines at scooping out chair seats.

I also use a grinder with a kutzall disk:

That I got from Lee Valley a number of years back:

for roughing work.

I'm living breathing evidence that using these with the guard off is a bad idea. My old grinder wasn't able to support the disk size with the guard in place (should have been hint #1, 4.5" disk on a 4" grinder was just stupid) so I've been using it for years with the guard off... and of course no problems until yesterday.

Still not sure what happened (momentary lapse of reason) but it took a big chunk out of one finger and chewed the heck out the of top of another right behind the nail (for about 1/2" back). For a minute there I wasn't sure if I still HAD a finger Looked worse initially than it actually is though, just hard to tell through all that blood

So, I'm now shopping for a larger more capable grinder that I can use the disk with the guard in place!!!
