Nope. My Dad spent three days in hospital once with bits of an exploded disk in his leg. Not recommended.

The angle grinder and the chainsaw are two of the most destructive tools invented by Man. In fact the chainsaw is probably going to turn out to be the tool that brought about the end of the world if criminals in developing countries are allowed to continue to launder their money by cutting down forest and planting oil palms.

Yes.

Love my tools. Electric chain saw (2x as one is extending), mitre saw (this is brill), electric tile cutter (the ones that use water and a blade), grinder, jigsaw, SDS big drill (one you have to be careful with as the torque is phenominal) etc etc.

Chainaws and angle grinders - you need utmost respect for these things.

The last time i touched a power tool was when i plugged in my dad's hadn't been used in years since he died electric drill from his working days. It'd been in his shed for years. The thing almost blew up as i flicked the power socket switch! Damp must've got into it.:unsure:

Stay away from them. One of my BIL's is useless - very dangerous letting him near anything with power.

A demonstration on rail cutting, model railways, using a dremel and a home built sliding table, went well until they got distracted by something. The blood spatter pattern would have had many a CSI scratching their heads.

The nail on his finger got cut a bit further down than would have been normally.

Had to go on an abrasive wheels training course for work a few years ago. I was surprised to learn that the discs have an expiry date and H&S won't be happy if we have an accident while using an out of date one Note to self......I need to change my avatar.

40 years ago in an engineering shop I was using a surface grinder, with the work clamped on a magnetic table, it was something like a 14 inch disc, 3 inch wide, the worked moved, I heard the disc start to suck up the work & start to slow down, but before I could do anything the disc exploded sending pieces in all directions.
 
Have you got a chainsaw helmet? Yes? Go for it!
Although one cut will probably see it shatter into a thousand pieces so why bother?
