Yes, even in my severely limited experience it's become clear that the
tool is better suited for grinding (hence the name) than cutting. It
just happened that the particular job I needed it for couldn't easily
have been tackled with anything else.

When you watch paving guys cutting kerbstones etc, it's clear that a
high level of accuracy is possible

Although IME the sum total of safety equipment they use is a roll-up. No
goggles, helmet or ear protection.



TBH I don't think the risks are that high compared, say, to a circular
saw.

The difference is that you dont have to take the guard off to see what
you are doing with a circular saw and can in fact have decent laser
indication of where you will be cutting if you want with the saw.
