This guy purposely caused kickback on his table saw to prove a point.

Make sure you watch what happens at 4:20 into the video.

He agrees with anyone who calls him an idiot.

Excellent vid, valuable lesson.
He's not an idiot, he just didn't have the control over the situation as
he expected. **** happens, even with good intentions.

He proly would not have lost a digit or part thereof (as in a RAS), but he
certainly came close to requiring a lot of stitches, and poss. nerve
damage -- which can be almost as bad as losing a digit.

How does a riving knife work? Never saw one before this.

Am I the only one who would never work with the blade that far above the
wood?

I normally have only a quarter to 3/8 inch of the blade above the piece
of wood. (Higher for harder wood)
