A real man would have just squirted some super glue on that and kept on with his task!!

JK - that one is nasty. Got to watch those cut off wheels. I had a disc snap on me a few years ago and flew into my stomach. It hurt like a bitch and knocked the wind out of me. Scared the pee out of me.....I just knew it went in deep....but, no punchers or cuts. Just a little skin missing from the high speed sanding that I got!!

Been there and done something similar in same tender area many years ago w/ a plastic scotch brite gasket removing wheel, it hit me there and some of the plastic plate went in deep. Xrays do not show plastic so it stayed in there till it healed and then months later worked its way back to the surface and then I had to cut it open and extract it. Nice scar today from that, wifey loves it!

If this whole "chicks dig scars" thing were true, I should have my own harem hangin off me. %)

Most of mine didnt require stitches but rather the "electricians band aid"....paper towel and electrical tape.

OUCH! Something tells me that a glove wasn't going to help much with that bad boy. I've got a few cuts from the tips of fingers but nothing like that.

I've had a few people get infections from cuts lately - nasty, nasty stuff. I hope they gave you some antibiotics - if not, you might want to get some just in case.

I guess I should be glad that digital cameras were not so prevalent when my buddy was running the controls on a frame machine at his body shop when a high-pressure (aren't they all!) hydraulic line let go and whipped the "fluid knife" across his hand.
Surprised it didn't cut his hand all the way off (maybe it wasn't such high pressure after all), but it sure did some damage.

Seems the moral of this story is to avoid hanging out near spinning wheels, flying plastic parts (ouch!), and hydraulic thingies under pressure.

Damn, Been there, done that.... I was just using my cutoff what last night. Had a 1/4-20 bolt in one hand and the cutoff wheel in the other. After cutting for a few seconds and thinking about what I was doing, I grabbed the pliers.

Hope you heel up quick so you can get back to what matters. :D

i did the same thing. used a dewalt that utilized an on switch. lost control of it and tried to save it from falling to the floor. i got rid of it that day! i normally use the ones with the paddle control. with the paddle...when you release, the power winds down.
made some nice grooves but wasnt deep enough for a dr visit. just some duct tape and paper towels...till the wife saw it. still didnt go to dr. 5 years ago and the scars still look good.
