Kera Flex with dust extraction is acceptable on site.
Thank you Sam @Pro Tiler Tools
Getting used to it now and beginning to learn its boundaries. Great tool, I just need to tweak it for me.

Buy one of these,
And problems solved, they also have a 5 ml tube,
to carry the dust away.
But do as you please,
When I speak, do not listen to anyone,
It's been since I'm here that I say:
The grinder is better than wet cutting, excluding stones (which
Some times it is better to wet it).
The grinder always wins.
are 15 years I sold the last wet cutting.

Just be careful when using a grinder without the guard on. Touched the tip of my finger on the blade which made me twitch and touch my knee!!

Why would you use a grinder without a guard!
Ouch! That looks nasty Paul.

I haven't used a guard for years, naughty I know but always wear goggles cutting anything and usually gloves cutting metal. I just find the guard gets in the way and this is the first ( and hopefully last ) time I've ever injured myself which was my own fault for trying to do stuff when tired, trying to get a job finished and not concentrating properly. In fact I cocked up the cut anyway so ended up packing up and going home.

Same same mate, had a job run seriously over schedule cos of changes I wasn't aware of until the day, and it's caused nothing but serious heartache and a £2500.00 floor!
Still playing catch up now.
And it hurts.

Does look like you had a bit of a squeeze tbh, sure it could of been a lot lot worse.
There was a guy on builders talk group coupe weeks ago that actually severed his hand almost completely off with a 9" grinder, cut clean thro bone as well!
They saved it tho, very graphic photos. Ewwwww!

If I'd have been wearing trousers I suspect I'd have got away with it, shorts are not so forgiving!
I'm a right scaredy pants with the chainsaw if that's any relief. I always think the chain's going to fly off and take my head with it.

Haha it's not funny of course, dangerous bloody tools, but not as dangerous as some of the tools that use them!
Present company accepted of course!
