Simply shocking...
This board is usually all business, which I appreciate, but I got to share this experience with people who will appreciate it...
Once in a while I get a static buildup from buffing. I think it's probably weather-dependent. The other day, I started working and was 5 minutes into it when I started getting shocked like a lab monkey, lol. I had 1-1/2" arcs going from the piece to my fingertips if I wasn't careful to hold them tight against the metal. Man, was it powerful! I've been hit with a 100,000 volts (at a only a few miliamps), and this was almost as strong.
The kicker is that when it wasn't going thru my fingertips, it was snapping me in the @ss - jumping to the metal kitchen stool I sit on, haha! Bear in mnd that my motor sets on a wooden stand on a concrete floor, I wear heavy rubber gloves, street clothes and Tyvek coverals, and the stool has a fabric cover on it.
Anybody else ever get any of that?
