It's super cool from an engineering standpoint! And I'm rather attached to my fingers, I'd like it to stay that way. Until I got a shaper, I would say the job site table saw I have was the most dangerous tool in my shop. That shaper scares the shit out of me. Just from a volume and complacency standpoint, I'm still more likely to have an accident on the table saw than any other tool, but that shaper can and will eat your entire hand.
Really cool video, thanks for sharing! The high speed test makes me feel even better about this purchase!
@UsernameLost as attached to fingers as they are to you id say :p
I've only recently got into using power tools and the like and am still impressed by the sheer, well, power they have.
I used a miter saw for the first time a few weeks ago. The SPEED at which that thing can seemingly melt it's way through wood or aluminum like it's butter is impressive.
Any power tool can hurt you. I had a piece of maple kickback and explode on a miter saw, which I didn't even know was possible.
Luckily, the only actual injury I've gotten while woodworking was on a scroll saw, which is basically just a sewing machine with a small saw blade. Piece of wood pinched around the blade and jerked up, took the back of my finger against the blade. Minimal damage, but it bled like a stuck pig for a bit
@UsernameLost aiiyeeeee exploding wood does not sound like a good time. Or losing skin 🙃
The worst I've had so far is a splinter or some chafed skin. 👀🤞
