True, although you don't usually use wire wheels in those - and they spin quite a bit more slowly I think..

After more time watching workshop videos I now want one of these: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5Tu_zoO828

Can't see much wrong with that except it is a low powered model. ;D ;D

My next door neighbour had a large stone cutting disc explode and tore his jeans off his legs. No blood. He was a very lucky. I suspect he had been side loading his disc. I only ever buy discs out of boxes. I have seen people drop them in DIY stores.
