As far as I can tell, the thing is just sitting on those two "table horses or whatever they're called" and not attached in any way. The 'table horses' have 2x4s attached to their tops, and the table saw rig is screwed down to those. That's a pretty typical job site jury-rig when there's no table saw on site and only a few pieces have to be cut. In many ways it's a lot safer than when framer's disable the blade guard on a circular saw and are leaning over with a wide-legged stance. You're always balancing time and efficiency versus risk, and you'll know pretty clearly when you've underestimated the risk. R |

There have been lots of "goog" saws in the past that had no splitter - and if you are CAREFULL and know what you are doing setting up the saw, they don't kick back any worse than a normal saw with a splitter. But they need to be set up accurately. |

I used to have a commercially available table saw "adapter" that used my skill saw in the same way - significantly refined, with a nifty very effective switch and all that. Got rid of it and got myself a good old cast iron BEAVER 8" table saw that did me for quite a few more years before I decided to downsize my wood shop - joined a woodworking club for when I needed equipment other than my hand tools and hand power tools. |

This guy will only be able to count to ten for another day or two. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkWgzAk0kuQ I love the on - off switch! Definitely low tech. At least he isn't leaning his hand on the table (or blade) while reaching under it to hit the switch & hold the lock button in, eh? P.S: Who thinks that redneck could _ever_ count to ten? -- You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you. -- James Lane Allen |

He has a rip fence on his contraption. As long as it is as parallel as your rip fence, then he suffers no greater risk than you do. Friction with the top? that has never been a contributor to kick back. All that does is make a slower cut. Slipping off the saw horses? There is an inherent coefficient of friction based on the weight of the contraption and it will require more friction than that to cause it to slip off the horses. It's not even evident that the "table" is not secured to the horses, or otherwise prevented from slipping. Maybe it is, and maybe it isn't. As for the "inherent coefficient of friction based on the weight," I'm lmao at that. I've ripped long boards that were bowed and would push my delta along the concrete and it's pretty darn heavy. I thought it was pretty evident the thing wasn't attached, but let's say it is. It takes very little force to topple most saw horses in the direction his are set up. Certainly FAR less than what it takes to move my Delta. Mike - you need to add some weight to that Delta. I've never pushed my Craftsman across the garage floor - but then I don't try to force wood that should not require that much force through my saw, Yeah, whatever. Bottom line, you seem to think the operation of the saw in that video is perfectly safe. Nah - not that I think it's pretty safe. Not even something I would consider to be a regular part of my wood working practices. I just don't think it's a dangerous as has been suggested here. -- -Mike- |
