Often wondered just how safe some of these products and their discs are.
For
example, angle-grinders can be had for a fraction of the price 15 yrs ago,
as are the cutting and grinding wheels. The drive speed of the output
shaft
is the same if not higher of the previous generation tools and abrasive
discs can be bought for a loose change at discount barns eg Clints. Some
of
these are diamond-chip impregnated wheels!
One clear improvement has been interlocking ON/OFF power-switches, instead
of a simple toggle-switch.
While their continues to be re****ts of powertool accidents, the
investigation results have not pointed to any particular cheap Chinese
tool
that I have read,...so maybe paying $30 for a Chinese 2300W 6" grinder is
a
good investment?
