I’ve been a metal fabricator for about 10 years, I’ve been using angle grinders for 18+ years. I bought a 5 pack of brand new cut off wheels from harbor freight. Started to cut 1/4 angle iron with a 13000rpm dewalt grinder with the guard attached (no handle though) the first disk exploded after 1.5 mins of grinding so I put a whole new disk on it. Not even 20 seconds later I was laying on the ground with blood shooting 7 feet away from my body. The second disk got jammed in the metal, blew the disk up and threw it right into my femoral artery on the inside of my knee. Passed out within a minute and barely made it. I love harbor freight prices but the difference you pay doesn’t account for the price of your life. I will never use another 4 1/2 warrior cut off wheel ever again
Looking for an honest opinion, at this price I’m concerned they will explode when they get up to speed. Also open to alternatives!
