So I'm going to attempt the crossmember rehab this weekend and planning on grabbing an angle grinder. I've never used an angle grinder before...any tips for using one? I know theres some safety issues when using them because they spin like 10,000 to 12,000 rpm. I'd like to get a face shield but those are hard to come by nowadays. I know you should also not use cutting discs for grinding because they are thin and could shatter throwing shrapnel at you. Any safety features to be on the look out for? It sounds like paddle switches would be nicer but that seems to significantly increase the cost. I was leaning towards something like this https://www.lowes.com/pd/Metabo-HPT...liding-Switch-Corded-Angle-Grinder/1001107544 or this https://www.lowes.com/pd/CRAFTSMAN-4-1-2-in-6-Amp-Sliding-Switch-Corded-Angle-Grinder/1000594633
