Good thing I had heavy leather gloves on!
I am working on a GMC Jimmy tailgate for a powder coating customer. It is really rusty. I was cutting out a patch piece from some 16 gauge sheet metal, and the 3” cutting disk tool got away from me a bit. It sliced right through the heavy leather glove and wound up barely grazing my skin. Just think how much deeper the cutting disk would have dug into my skin if I hadn’t had those gloves on!
The moral of the story is, “Always wear proper safety gear”.
