Once upon a time in a land far away, Minnesota that is. One of my summer jobs during my college days was working as a grinder in a foundry. I used huge 4" wide very long belts. When I had job lot of bronze I had to wear welders gloves. I remember how many times my hands were spared by those gloves. I noticed lately that 110lb aluminum flange is a bit different then a razor blade.
