LG hombot robot vacuum cleaner disassembly

We did the design, and send the drawings out to a sheet metal shop.

All the sheet metal bits together cost about $180, with PEMS and such.

Utter nonsense. A bandsaw will not kick-back. A circular saw (skill, table, or RAS) certainly will, and when it does it spits things at high velocity, if you're lucky. If you're not, it can suck fingers into the sharp bits. Bandsaws do not have any failure mode that will pull you into it or throw things at you.

That attitude is just asking to lose digits, or worse.

Behind the fence is the safest place to be. ...and *never* reach across or behind the blade.

Can you buy a 9" angle grinder with less? (would anyone want to?)

granted these tools need both hands, but they are hand tools.

Sometimes conductive dust accumulates in the gaps between rotor contacts and causes a partial short. This increases current draw and lowers performance and is a common cause for motor drivers to sense an overload.

Hell, a Dremel is close to 1/4 HP!

and a chainsaw is safer?

Than using a circular saw as a chainsaw? You bet your ass! That is what he's doing, in fact. There is a reason these tools exist.

Bullshit.

I can't think of any use of a circular saw that makes it more dangerous than a chainsaw.

Then you can't think. Each tool has its uses and its dangers. Using the wrong tool is always dangerous.

I have noticed that, most of the time, there is something within reach that will work well enough.

Yeah, a friend thought the same thing about hammers, until he used a framing hammer to drive cut nails. Some ten eye surgeries later he figured out just what a mistake that was.

is there a special hammer for cut nails?

Yes.

tell me more.

It's *not* hardened.

If somebody wanted to buy one, what would it be called?
