I'll be stripping it down shortly to find out

Then again, this local story in today's paper has me wondering whether
I should fix it after all

Ooo-er, poor man. Never heard of someone killed like that

I'm reasonably careful about not being in the firing line when using a
grinder or metal cutter just in case the blade disintegrates. I had a
woodturner friend who got a chisel through his heart. As a turner
myself, contingency and risk management plans often occur to me,
particularly after something like a chisel jamming shocks one back
to reality
