Re: Machining in the pits at regionals
I think the no grinding rule is for the flying debris and for local regulation on indoor sparks. The funny thing is, I've ground steel as hard as I could to make the most sparks possible to try to light a propane torch and absolutely nothing happened. It didn't even light. I think the risk of fire from grinding sparks is extremely minimal, but I think the bigger concern is flying debris and local regulations.
