Ever been bitten by your belt grinder? ouch!

LOL.....funny you should mention that....when I dunk a hot blade/finger...I find myself singing "Burn, baby burn.....Disco inferno!"
 
I have only been bit badly once. I was grinding titanium on a 60 grit belt and slipped. The edge of the belt cut into the side of my thumb, driving titanium dust into the cut at the same time. The cut hurt extremely bad and I was too much of a wuss to clean it and get the dust out. It healed with the dust inside. Now I have a scar with a spot of grey in the middle.

I'm just glad it wasn't a 36 grit belt or a micron belt. 36 grit ones seem to be the worst for turning your skin into hamburger, while the edges of micron belt are scary sharp.

Hey Jessica, I read somewhere that the Aliens home in on people with titanium dust imbedded in their skin. Better get it fixed :)
