Diamond blade plus angle grinder on a treet stump killed someone

Bull. Diamond wheel on an angle grinder is the wrong combination,
but not for that reason. Kickback has nothing to do with the wheel
on the grinder, but instead has everything to do with where on
contacts the wheel. Suicidal? Not at all. One stupid move on the
part of a user does not make a tool suicidal.


More like homicidal then. You wouldn't get me within 10' of one.
Madness.


Angle grinders scare me enough when used on the things they're meant for,
with the correct blade. Dunno what I'm doing on this group. ;-)



Time you bought that pressure washer. :-)
