    Just got back from A&E after nearly cutting my top lip off with an angle grinder and a cutting disc,

    Not sure whether to post up a bloody pic.

    But a heads up to say, wear full face masks when using cutting discs, I was only goggled/gloved up, it could have been much worse.h

    Sounds crap mate. :(

    Bloke in next unit sliced from his wrist right up his thumb and was carted off in an ambulance last week - 18 stitches. I asked him how he managed it. He said he had a towbar on the floor, leather gloves. He was just cutting through some bolts. He did explain, but it didn't make sense to me.

    Thanks for the karma folks,

    Was cutting some crappy metal from the back of the bus, the disc snagged ascan sometimes happen, and the grinder came straight back at my face, usually I get away with a bit of masking tape, but not this time.

    Been drinking tea through a straw, and wil be mashing my dinners for the next week!
