Cool!

If one of those jumped the track that could be dangerous. Can you say
missing toes.

It reminds me of my first wood job in a cheapo furniture factory. We
used to have belt sander races on Fridays when the boss would by beer
and pizza for the mostly underaged an d 1/2 illegal crew.

Ah, the good ole days.

Anybody confess to seeing a tablesaw flip and move around on the ground? I
haven't.

We were a tad more mild in my carpenter days.

We raced belt sanders by hooking them to a switched outlet.

I'll admit that I cheated by dewinding the motor on my 3x24 Rockwell.

That was a screamin' bitch of a racer...for a few races...(rip)...

De-winding a motor? Sounds kind of Tim Allen-ish, can you explain?

Making it hotter too... hence the short life Tom alluded to.

Sortakinda like a Quad 405 power amplifier...sounded great for 2
minutes prior to destruction.

Well, mine is an old Craftsman from when the name meant more than the
front end for a credit card, but it's still working on the rare occasion
I need one. Have to use a motor not already equipped with a drive system.
