Sounds like the saw worked as designed. *Was there much rust on the TS
top after that experiment?

Nope, the table top was always protected with a good coat of
boe-sheild - which APPARENTLY is not an insulator.

But what about the inside of the saw? The hidden parts that are
coated with a absorbent layer of sawdust sponge would be the real
problem. Then again - that's one way to keep the dust down - mist
it!
