May have to invest in a pair of themjust for grinding etc. And use the ones in the pic the rest of the time as i barely notice they are there.
Yeah I think I'm gona take a look at better eye protection. Like yourself I only use dewalt glasses but think I will up grade to some goggles I've read a couple of threads with people damaging an eye and I have had a couple of near misses around the side of my glasses... I've always been put off by goggles because they are just such a pain in the a*&e to take off and put on, yes I know this is supremely lazy but I like the fact the glasses just pop up on to my hat. Any thoughts on the middle ground of the glasses with the foam protection something like these

At least you are doing it the right way, buying them before you have to take a trip to A&E to have some doc pick out metal splinters from your eyeball. If you want some more advice DO NOT pick up the grinder without putting on the goggles it only takes a second to get a stray metal splinter fly into you eye

Cheers for the adviceon the eye pprotection peeps!
Anyways tonight i made my recovery points ready for when i finally get round to building my winch bumper.
First pic is of them both cut to shape and starting to drill the holes for the jate ring.
And this pic is of em finished with a 22mm hole drilled.
Just incase your wondering they are made from 20mm thick steel. Should be strong enoughi reckon

Cut em into squares using a automatic hacksaw machine at work the cut the corners to make the v shape with an angle grinder.

Did you finish them with a grinder or did you polish and round the edges? They look mighty shiny sir....

Rounded the edges off a bit on a grinding wheel, then attacked em with a wire brush wheel, then gave them a good go over on the buffing wheel

The "hench" recovery points welded into some box section which will eventually form part of the front bumper
Sir, that's a fine job you've done there!

6mm will be nice and beefy
