Showerthought: just realized my grinder wheel has been spinning backwards for 2 years
Caught a random video from a farrier in Oregon last night and noticed their sparks were flying the opposite way than mine always have - double checked my angle grinder and sure enough I've been running the wrong direction this whole time, anyone else ever make that dumb mistake?

Four years ago I helped my buddy wire up his whole workshop, and he had the phase wired backwards on half his outlets. Three months of cutting with a reverse spinning chop saw. The sparks flew so weird we thought he just bought a cheap blade. Two years though, that's impressive dedication to doing things the hard way. At least now you'll cut through stuff in half the time and your discs won't burn up as fast.

Didn't the MythBusters test running a saw backwards once?
