[TheForge] Re: [EKMetalsmiths] Grinding caution...

[Jerry Frost]

It's not the hazard you might think. Believe me (yes, I've done this more 
than once) you notice well before you start a brush fire. There are times 
you have no choice but to grind with the cuttings coming back at you.

Wire wheels on the other hand require leathers! No number of layers of cloth 
will stop flung wires.
