Plymouthy Adams Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 line you hear from the drill sergeants in basic when we took a break...….well today, it was my shop vacuum on the sandblast cabinet....stunk up the shop a bit even with the exhaust fan running...had that vacuum for about 40 years....guess it earned it's retirement. Word to the wise, never leave running tools unattended.....this one burst into flames and I was only out the door a minute to get an item off the table out back....nothing even scorched, flames within the motor housing...never tripped the breaker....

plymouthcranbrook Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 I remember having an old Wen grinder catch fire while I was using it. Short and small but a fire none the less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
