If you see the damage they can do its not worth d few pennies one can save. Saw a fella with a gapped ( new) 9" disk, trying to recover it.( gently cutting a pipe trying to re_ round d disk) I walked over and broke d slicer disk off d grinder. Edit, stupid typos

As for grinders I had a red hot chip of metal straight in the eye from not wearing goggles. Major panic to have it removed in hospital. I was so lucky not to loose the sight in my eye and had a scar visible on the eyeball for about ten years afterwards. Very painful and very scary.
