LOL... OSHA can stay outta my business... Thanks, It's been fun, and a learning experience..!

Fantastic! Great grinder, excellent price. One question - is your motor a "closed frame"? If not, put some kind of filter on the cooling air in and out to keep steel dust out. You can make filters out of your lady's used panty hose. If metal dust gets into the guts of the motor, it will kill it. Been there, got the tee shirt.

Thank you... Yes, the motor is fully closed for dusty conditions. I made sure before buying it.
