Dumb people and tablesaws
G'day,
Found this video on the FWW website, here it is from YouTube for those who don't have subscription. Makes you wonder if where you're from has anything to do with stupidity.

Holy snappin' duck####.
How many times did I say "WHY".
It would be a good.... spot the hazard video for safety classes.

Most powertools have sharp teeth.
People are made of meat.
Abrasives can be just as dangerous as a blade.....and 10 times more painfull.

If a little bit of knowledge is dangerous, how bad is too much enthusiasm? I'm all for having a tinker with things but this guy is wasting his time, just get a start cap.
and he's already created offspring....Cheers,
Shannon.

Ok this is probably something I won't do or at least admit doing openly. But why it is the worst tablesaw video like FWW suggested?
Starting the motor – OK it is primitive and interesting but I can’t see anything wrong with that. Can you? At least he lowered the blade first.
Cutting the wood – OK he should have removed the rip fence. But it doesn't make it the worst ever.
Blade guard – Plenty of professional woodworkers on the FWW magazine cut wood without one. Don't believe me? Go watch their DVDs and read their books and mags.
So for FWW to say it is the worst ever, I think it is total BS.Visit my website at www.myFineWoodWork.com

It probaly isn't the worst table saw video ever..... but what makes it so bad is that he is specificaly showing his bad methods
and puropsely displaying his dangerous ignorance.
Pluss he has no good reason for using a machine in that state......he simply could not wait to get the correct parts and fit them before using the machine.
There are many of us
that might try something similar..... but would we pourposely put video evidence of our stupidity on the web for the world to see.

Like I said if he removed the fence, then what he did was perfect. You don't have to agree with FWW all the time you uno.Visit my website at www.myFineWoodWork.com

Not agreeing that it's the worst video I've seen, there are many, but as Soundman has pointed out, he could've waited to get a new capacitor.
And, like I wrote at the start of things - maybe the locality breeds this sort of dangerous act, if y'all know what I mean.
Sometimes a foot or a shoulder gives an extra pair of hands, other times it's just plain stupid.
