I bought a metabo 5 inch grinder specifically for using with cutoff wheels. It has a guard that adjusts without tools and a built in clutch. Also use a standard welding helmet with flip up lens and leather gloves when cutting.
Am also surprised that more people have not cut off fingers or had discs impaled in their faces more often. I’m not a safety Nazi by any stretch as I do many unsafe things but these cutoff discs just seem so obvious.
