Several years ago acetone was the main ingredient in fingernail
polish remover.
A few weeks ago in the daily toolbox safety meeting, when grinding
the company requires the use of both safety glasses or goggles and a

flying debris. Especially if the wheel should disintegrate. The
safety glasses or goggles are for those small particles that manage
to fly and get in between the face shield and your face.
