Tomindallas,looks like OSHA is trying to look out for you,maybe you ought to listen and close that shop,get your self some of that good education before you get in alot of trouble like that oil company that spilled all that oil.Looks to me like safety was slack for a young girl to be hurt like that with a bonafied OSHA agent right there watching,I just can't figure that out.

plow boy, I thought this was settled... so here we go again... another trip around the barn. OSHA isn't trying to shut anyone down...No one is forcing anyone to do anything they feel uncomfortable with. I am expressing a concern... and a legitimate one at that. I do not work for OSHA. I am a high school teacher who teaches OSHA and NCCER content... along with many, many other things. It's good stuff too and a required class for most of the employees hired at businesses around here. It must be working. Guadalupe county Texas has the highest density of manufacturing per capita of ANY of all 256 counties in Texas. And Texas has the 9th largest economy world wide and is bigger than France. (Dwell on that!) Simply put... we are still working down here! We picked up 300 more jobs just this month alone when Motorola moved one of it's divisions back here... from Taiwan. Why? Because they can find qualified, pre- trained employees here and a local school district willing to work with industry to provide them. So just keep laughing it up, plow boy! (Which oddly, is one of the nick names of folks who attend my university. "Plow Boys! Yes... I attended an "agricultural" college.) As for the injured young lady, I was not there, nor was I watching. I teach Tech Ed, not Drama. I was the guy they called to come administer first aid before the Life Flight helicopter got there Why? Because I teach workplace safety! You can laugh about my education and vocation all you want... Being a graduate of Texas A&M, I am very, very used to that. It took me 8 years... I dropped out to work 5 times. I paid for every single dime myself, while married with two kids and managed to make the deans list for the last three semesters. So, go ahead, laugh it up! I know what I know... and know that buffer looks awfully dangerous to me. An open belt. Unshrouded wheels. An open switch plate. Not to mention the fabric debris piled up around that open motor posing a fire hazard. Ya see, we dumb, over educated, plow boy, Aggies know that the bonding agents used to hold buffing compounds like emory, tripoli and rouge in cake form are basically wax... which embedded in that fabric debris is VERY flammable. But... this is a free country and folks are free to use dangerous equipment in their own shops if they want too... much in the same way I am free to say: "Hey... might wanna be extra careful around that buffer, dude!"

I was and still am interested in what Tom had to say.Hearing all this brag about,oh i'm all this and i'm all that is just not interesting.If I recall you did say[during] and after the event.And by the way did they have a table saw in a drama class?Was it from your shop?Didn't you tell them that drama students hadn't been properly trained to use shop power tools?My table saw has a safety guard.I very seldom put much stock in bragging,Could you post some credentials.

Not really mad... just perturbed by the sheer lunacy that my "by-the-way" observation is so laughable and offensive to so many. My mom had an old country saying: "If you throw a hammer into a pen full of pigs. A cold beer sound pretty nice about now... thanks bud! I'm just parked here in front of the screen exporting images to my FTP site so my ninth graders can take a test over reading and interpreting construction drawings with the substitute tomorrow. I'm off to Austin in the morning for a big computer technology conference... a bunch of hoopla.. but the district pretty much drafts me into going every year.

"I recall you did say[during] and after the event." If my commentary is so uninteresting don't read it. Your scope of "during and after" are far too narrow in scope... open your mind to what happens beyond just the "event!" during: meaning while she was still on site rapidly bleeding to death. after: meaning the months and months of inquisitions, depositions, lawyers courtrooms, subpoenas, district personnel and policy changes, criminal and civil proceedings and devastating financial and personal effect on the district, the teacher in charge, the community and the injured young lady and her family. The ripples are still spiraling outward.... for her... this will never be over.

Not my shop... the drama shop. "Could you post some credentials." Let me ask: "Are you retarded?" Why on earth do you think I would do that, plow boy? This is not a job application... and even if it were, I certainly would not be interested in working for you. If you are interested, you already have enough information contained within my signature, and available via Google (If you are smart enough to use a Boolean search string!) to find out just about anything you need to know about me. Otherwise, you sir, can put you head back into your own anal sphincter and inflate your own brain cavity. My professional credentials are not subject to your validation in order to express an opinion on this forum... no matter how unpalatable you might find it. I am done here!

Like I said, I built the thing ten years ago. I've still got eight fingers and two thumbs, and a functioning brain. I think....

Everyone here is perfectly free to do as they danged well please. I have NEVER attested otherwise! All I said was, I wouldn't turn the thing on... and here's why... Sheesh, express an unpopular opinion around here and all of a sudden you become the devil and are suddenly asked to post credentials that you indeed come from hell. Get a grip folks! Nuff said! Let's hear about metal polishing for God's sake!

It is time to get on with just talking about metal polishing, any further flaming will get deleted. Should have before this, but even mods have to sleep once in a while.

Nort... Actually, I think it's kind of cool that he welds in his kitchen. Tom... About the re-post of that image...  I like your sense of humor.I stand! I wouldn't turn the thing on... but you are welcome to do as you see fit. That isn't meddlin', that's just my opinion.... as unpopular as it may be, which has nothing to do with your (or my) ability to polish metal. So... I ask again for this thread to return to it's roots... what's your method? I am more interested in that brush wheel. Are you dabbling in brushed finishes?

You just qualified my whole point, with all the guards and stuff that your safety school and OSHA would require, we wouldn't know what kind of brushes or wire wheels he uses to even ask the questions that you are now because we wouldn't be able to see them. Much like he'd bought a UL listed wheel from Sears or Lowes and such and as for the belt, I would turn it on right there, it looks in good condition, it's well seated in the sheaves and the taughtness looks good, no problem!
