there's a sawstop saw at the hackerspace i belong to and it gets triggered every couple of months or so because someone cuts one of the following:
Wet Wood
Laser Cut Wood
Wood with Staples/Nails in it

I don't think we've yet to save anyones fingers, but we're constantly replacing brakes and blades.

i get why wet wood or wood with metal in it would cause a stop, but why laser cut wood

Guessing the carbon on the laser cut surface is conductive somehow?

Bingo. Just conductive enough to trip the brake.

It's weird, the only machines in the shop that are locked out until you pass a skills test are the laser cutters, a lathe and bridgeport. We've got welders and plasma cutters and a whole host of other tools that will gently caress you up, and yet we hardly see any issues with those tools. Only the goddamn wood tools.

cuz when u wanna gently caress up some wood, you want it to endanger yourself and everyone around you

hey that's just around the corner from my house

for years my local pub - which was around the 19-mile mark, where most people hit the wall - had a barbecue in the street on marathon day and had a big sign offering a free beer and burgers to any runner who handed over their number (which disqualifies them from the race)

by the time it closed it had over a hundred numbers pinned up on the wall, including a couple of 3-digit numbers (elite competitors)

i miss that pub :smith:

are you sure the "widow maker" he pulled out wasn't just a regular old angle grinder

(i.e. that same device but with an abrasive wheel instead of a sawblade)

cause that's exactly the right tool to cut through a lock and it's spectacular to watch but not especially dangerous
hmm on reflection you're probably right, i think the blade was just circular rather than serrated as pictured at any rate

it was a small one without a sideways handle though, so he just used it with one hand while holding the lock with the other and that seems hazardous enough for something with that kind of cutting power regardless

edit: interesting trigger discipline
