Yes a 1 inch cut on the wetsaw, and a 1mm piece of porcelain in the eye....OUCH.

i'll definitely be wearing safety glasses all the time now.

Ouch that looks sore mate. Surprising the damage such a small bit of tile can do.

 

[Ajax123]

Ooops!

Lesson to us all there I think.

did the same myself last year phil
and it was only scoring and snapping ceramics, glaze fractured while scoring and i got 3 tiny slivers in my eye.
i always wear me goggles now.

You guys need to really if you can't see you can't tile. And for a couple of quid, it's just not worth it. Low risk perhaps, but high consequences.

For peace of mind...



For fun

Mine are so badly scratched that I don't wear them as often as I should do, so this thread prompted me to get some new ones. Black and yellow of course!

Apparently the best ones are the style with sides too, ie goggles not specs as they give your eyes much more protection from all angles.

Mine are on me at all times so no excuses here. eye looks sore, glad it looks worse than it is, could have been worse, could have been me..... ;-)

Screwfix mate, we've just got a new one opened in town. £10.99 but cheaper than needing a new eye!

What happened to screwfix? When I was living in U.K it was just a catalouge order service, highlight of the month was a new one dropping it the letter box, now there's loads of shops and 1 in my home town I knew nowt about! What else has happened in the last 7 years? Is Elizabeth still Queen? Do you still drive on the wrong side of the road?

And we still speak the Queens English....

We drive on the left as a defiance to the emperor Napoleon! How dare he come up with the idea that horse carts should be drawn on the right hand side!

IIRC it was bought out by bandpoo and then the guy who opened screwfix originally then opened tool station instead. Toolstation
