    Employees used straight line hand-held grinders on a wide variety of castings. BEFORE Pneumatic hand grinders are used to finish parts, exerting strain on the wrists and arms due to the weight of the sander, vibration, and forces applied to grasp and utilize.
    Cost - $267

    Cost Recovery - 2 to 4 months
    		Cost - $1,135

    Cost Recovery - 6 to 12 months
    90° grinders were purchased to gain greater access in the castings and the operators’ can maintain wrist and arms in a more neutral posture. AFTER Ergonomic sanders are lighter in weight, absorb some vibration, and have a more comfortable handle.

    [Includes four photos; one of a worker using a straight line hand-held grinder, one of a worker using a 90º grinder, one of a pneumatic hand grinder, and one of an ergonomic, light-weight pneumatic hand grinder]
