    awwww that hurts. Sorry it happened, glad you can still use all your digits. This is something you will remember every time you turn the buffer on. Padding is good under and in back off the buffing area.

    Nah the stupid safety guard ate it, and the shrapnel flew into my finger and drew blood, not a big deal there, should have tossed the "safety" guard first thing....*sigh* couldn't wait to get that big boy into service on my customers....so sick

    Sorry, man! been there, done that too.
    It took a few to realize nothing sharp, corners included, goes against the wheel direction. Never did it again.

    Yeah I knew better than to get the edge near it and had been buffing on it 30 minutes probably and was doing the final touch up then it barely grabbed it but caught the stupid safety guard then attempted to swallow it between the guard and buffer........... glad I have others but I sooooo couldn't wait to shave with that big boy.

    Not to recommend removing safety guards or anything like that......Mine are gone, though!

    Sometimes you sit back and shake your head at the numbers of great blades that people destroy

    Safety guard ? Those stay on ? I thought those things were just to protect it during shipping.

    That's a shame. Considering you are just starting out you may want to try hand sanding. IMO as long as u are willing to take the additional time and effort your results with hand sanding are better and less chance of loosing the blade or your digits due to mishap.

    Honestly based on OP this blade needed light with, not a trip to the wheel or taping of part you didn't want to sand.

    Again sorry for you loss.
