An idiot and his table saw...
"Existential Angst" wrote in message
... "DerbyDad03" wrote in message ... 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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7sRrC2Jpp4 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. Apropos of this, the SawStop: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiYoB...endscreen&NR=1 He claims sumpn like 3600 accidents a year, all severed digits? I doubt it. Table saws, iiuc, don't nec'ly sever digits -- RAS's do. So I'm sure plenty of people get deep cuts on table saws, but not nec'ly severings. He may have also been lumping RAS accidents with table saw accidents -- assholes aren't nec'ly careful with stats. But, this demo was ess'ly bogus. If the saw stop didn't work, he would have gotten a bit of a nick (MAYBE), before his nervous system kicked in -- ESP the way his finger was glued to the table..... sheeit, I'da done that WITHOUT a saw stop.... gimme a fukn break with that bull****..... Now, let him put his system on a RAS, and test DAT with his finger, cutting in climb.... yeah, I'll hold effing breath.... Finally, the fuknCOST of this system.... holy ****.... God help the home woodworker if this thing ever becomes mandatory. Which could happen, given that they now make crawling helmets for toddlers: http://www.amazon.com/Thudguard-Baby.../dp/B001OWCOTS Even insufferable Manhattan Yupsters have a tough time swallowing this one. Trader4 and Terrel would proly buy a crawling helmet, tho.... -- EA -- EA |
