"Jim Wilkins" fired this volley in news:krh2ll$ed1

Could you give the reasons that apply to a quiet one-man hobby shop,
as opposed to a noisy, distracting business with 1 workers present?

Jim, I know you're not a troll, but that's such a troll-like question!

1) One worker or 100, having a grinder with open wheels or brushes
running ALL the time is just plain dangerous. A grinder dedicated to a
production job might run all the time, but not one that's casually-used.

2) One lapse of thought, one accidental swinging of some stock into the
rotating wheel, and you might be injured.

3) Unless you strap the on-off switch on, you might absent-mindedly
switch it off after a grinding job, which might or might not affect the
other running equipment using it as the 3rd-leg generator

4) It's just not _right_. It's an 'ugly solution' of a sort just begging
to be done differently.
