One potential source of serious injury in grinding comes from an oversight that is easy to make: operating the wheel in an over-speed condition. While a wheel that is run far bowdrillpress enough in excess of its rated maximum speed may shatter within minutes of operation, danger may also result from a wheel run just slightly faster than its rated speed. This less severe over-speed condition can cause the wheel to be damaged, and the damage may result in breakage after further use. For example, operating a reinforced, 9-inch diameter, Type 27 wheel rated for a maximum speed of 6,600 rpm on a 7-inch angle grinder with a speed of 7,700 rpm can cause the wheel to crack. This cracking can lead to breakage later. Any of these actions sets up a disastrous scenario that could lead to an accident involving serious injury or death. If you''re planning a project that requires lots of postholes, trust me--a power auger will speed up the process. I''ve dug hundreds of auger-generated postholes. My personal best is thirty 42-in. deck footings in a bowdrillpress single day--whew! But if you think they''ll make digging holes a picnic, think again. They''ll save you blisters, but at the end of the day, your back, legs and arms may be in worse bowdrillpress shape than if you had bowdrillpress dug the holes by hand.You''ll need to dig up a very willing friend to help you run most power augers, and you''ll both need strong backs, legs and arms to wrestle the machine around. Augers are very powerful machines with a lot of torque bowdrillpress that can throw you like a sack of potatoes if the auger bit encounters a rock or a root.
