    'Evenings everyone! Just getting ready for another cold night, dragging in plenty of firewood for the heater maker.. 18° right now, going for 12° for the low. The battery in the 4runner hasn't given up the fight yet because of the cold, but it isn't very happy. The one in the Taco doesn't sound much better.

    It looks like the Nor'easter is just going to miss me, leaving maybe a few inches of snowy stuff behind. Jipped again!

    Just had another $1600.00 cbn grinding wheel come apart. That's 3:facepalm: in the last few weeks. New supplier's quality is not good.

    did you guys have to switch suppliers/brands? i'd definitely make a formal complaint however you can - grinders are not something to mess with. the guys in the shop at work use them all the time - only a couple of major accidents over the years and thankfully no serious injuries

    The company that use to make them was bought by 3M and 3M made a design change.

    These are not normal wheels. It has a steel body and the cbn ring is glued to the bottom.
    16432500636695803977712506971274.jpg

    Whats happening is the glue holding the cbn is failing. Sometimes the cbn ring comes off in 1 big piece
    16432502202014402823368252728013.jpg

    Tonight it came apart in lots of small pieces.

    shrapnel bad!
    your guys use a variety of stuff. not sure there's any one cause to failures
    https://www.granquartz.com/stone-fabrication?cat=5

    can you send the broken ones back for 3M to inspect? if there's a problem like that I'd think they'd want to know now before someone is seriously hurt.

    Machine is guarded, but still posable for someone to get hurt.
    We found out today about the design changes. Never had failures like this before.
