Yeah, gruesome vid. I don't think I've ever been dissuaded so persuasively...

Gulp. I've had a few 'interesting grazes' (I've seen my patella !) but those are not nice.
However... if someone is stupid enough to think that something like that can ever be safe, then they are going to injure themselves on something else if its not that pile of sh1t.
Hopefully most people that buy one will then realise they really shouldnt use it !

Re: Has anyone used one of these?
When I started my apprenticeship and we were introduced to the machine tools ( lathes , milling machines etc) the instructor told us " Right lads, these machines are designed to cut metal efficiently, they cut meat even better". These cutting disks remind me of that statement.
Re: Has anyone used one of these?
If you're planning on doing any sort of wood carving, you really should be using a chainsaw for the meat, changing the bar to a tip carving option to get it to the point where (unless you're a saw god) you're using sanders / hand tools. Anything where you're involving what's a whiry angle grinder in close contact to pinkies / face is always going to end in pain
My opinion as a professionally qualified chainsaw user with far too much experience is run away

Re: Has anyone used one of these?
My opinion as a Joiner on one of those blades is after use you’d be lucky to have enough fingers left to order five pints at the bar after
***just like Britney Spears oops I did it again……sold the Scrambler & as of now there may not be a replacement***

Re: Has anyone used one of these?
Thanks everyone. Think I've got the message.
But despite that, I've decided to ignore all your excellent advice, buy four of them and to teach myself angle-grinder juggling.
It can't be that hard.
