scrawled the following:

I do know a young floor installer here that lost use of his arm
for over a year using a similar set up on a small grinder with a
smaller blade. The rig caught a nail and tendons and arm caught
the aftermath.

Yeah, that's definitely a two-handed type of saw. But it should have
had enough speed to cut right through the nail without jumping. I
wonder what happened.

The floor trimmer _should_ have been using one of the toe-kick saws
(HF #94626), a Fein Multimaster @ $400, or a HF multifunction tool
#67256 @ $35, which I own and love.

Tip: If you ever kludge up a tool like this, use the least amount of
horsepower possible so if/when it goes rogue, you can get out of the
way (or it will just stall.) Oh, and _pay_attention_ while using it.
