On a table saw, the circular blade is spinning towards you. Pushing at the wrong angle (which is really easy to do when the wood is drooping off the table like that) can make the teeth of the blade snag and kick the wood back at you. Even if your fingers/hands don't get taken off, people have died just from having the chunk of wood rocketed into their sternum at speed.

Here's a good demonstration https://youtu.be/u7sRrC2Jpp4

Tablesaws are one of the few tools that genuinely scare me, and I've seen them take a couple fingat tips off in real life which is always fun.

At one point my sister decided she was going to be one of those hopeless DIY moms, destroying their homes piece by piece in an attempt to "upgrade" it. Rather than start basic with a drill and maybe a jigsaw, she wanted leap flying right out of the gates with a table-saw.

I argued with her for an hour that in no way should she start with a table saw, or even go near one, until she had done a decent amount of woodworking with hand tools and simpler power tools first. She pissed and moaned that I was just belittling her, and assuming she couldn't handle it because I thought she was "just a girl". Finally I said she was a loving idiot and would be dead within the year if she got a table saw, and showed her that video. As soon as she saw that kickback and the guys fingats almost get harvested, she went white as a sheet and decided then and there to swear off the table saw. I'm not why exactly she thought she could handle a table-saw with zero power tool experience. This is a person who has quite literally broken just about every electronic device put into their hands over their entire life, purely through mishandling and lack of care.

Every time you use a table saw, the first 30 seconds of using it should be you thinking of ways to complete the task without powering up the table saw.

I've got a fair bit of experience using bandsaws, scrollsaws, tabletop jigsaws, belt sanders and other large woodworking power tools but I still get a little antsy around tablesaws and most definitely around wood shapers. I'm convinced those machines are the hungriest for human flesh in the workshop, even more so than lathes.

This old boy is talking about how to be safe around a wood shaper and he seems like he's full of useful info especially when you see he's missing half a finger.

Thought of this thread today


I don’t think I’ve ever posted about my landlady’s husband. Who does small scale remodeling, has done a lot of work on the house, and has his workshop in the basement. His safety practices were non-existent. At one point he was adding a pergola on the second floor balcony, and would regularly climb onto the balcony railing to hammer something. One weekend i noticed an ambulance parked out front, and saw him sitting in the back, his head covered in blood, not sure what happened. Then there was the injury that put him into retirement. He was trying to hand hold something while cutting with a table saw and got his hand. He didn’t have his cellphone, and was lucky there was a cable guyot on the street who called 911, otherwise he might have bled out. It left him with some permanent nerve damage. About a week later our land lady’s daughter was in town helping clear out all of the tools in the basement.

Where I used to work, there was a table saw setup for cutting door sized bits of wood. The head of shop and his bro would not only cut small bits with it, they’d never use a pushrod. I relied on sexism, called it the “scary saw”, and refused to be near when they used it. I’d rather be seen as the wussy girl than the girl that got hit with a flying piece of wood.

My dad was a cabinet maker for 50+ years and 25 years into his career, he was using a router when it it kicked the piece of wood and his push stick out and routed a path through the palm of his hand. Since that, he not only insisted on using push sticks for any kind of stationary wood cutting tool, but he also developed an EXTRAORDINARY hatred for knots in the wood he would use.

I was lucky enough to be taught power tool safety both by my dad and at school. I treat them like I would a venomous snake - you don't need to be afraid of it because if you don't do anything stupid you'll be just fine, but you definitely need to respect it and think about each and every move you make before you make it.

Didn't this guy sever a finger too?

Anyone using a table saw, just do what Matthias Wandel does, his method is the best, using two long push sticks. Only very occasionally do I use a different style (John Heisz) if I need to hold it down in front better.

And if it doesn't got a riving knife, sell it.

People gave that guy so much poo poo, but his video has really done a lot of good.

Also I've never had a kick back in my life. And I've ripped like 100 meters of fir/pine studs in a single day with mine (french cleats for my workshop, a lot of them), not all of them where nice and straight or without stresses. And they where 45 degree cuts on a right tilting table saw!

The reason is simple! RIVING KNIFE! Like I can't emphasize enough how effective it is and I've never needed to remove it except 2-3 times in 6 years, when I did a plunging cut from below which isn't normal or super safe.

me, i like percoset :catdrugs:

They gave me dilaudid at the hospital the first time I ever had a kidney stone, and that exact passage is what came to mind when I was laying there high as gently caress. I didn't care because the tide was high, but I was still aware the stone was there, like the tip of broken pillar poking its head just barely out of the water.

I got dilaudid when my gallbladder was in the process of exploding and it went from "if I died the pain would stop, let's do that" to "I don't give a fuuuuuuuuuuck" in the space of one deep breath.

Being a woodwork teacher in a highschool I get to use the table saw rather a lot and even with our sliding table panel saw I'm weary of it at all times. At my last school I managed to lauch a 3m long by 12mm square piece of timber out of the back of the saw into the door a few metres behind me. My boss came to check on me but cause I had kept using the saw he decided not to come in and check what had gone wrong but this was the sort of bloke who'd tuck his tie in his shirt chuck a pair of glasses on then use the saw as he didn't believe in push sticks. He was also the person who originally taught me how to use the saw but I then got taught properly with push sticks and a decent level of technique.

Being in a school where we have 200 kids in a year building the same project we prep a lot of timber but the majority of it is radiata pine which depending on the batch we get in can be a right pain to actual cut into useable lengths. A couple of years ago we recieved about 300m of poorly seasoned pine which didn't become fully apparent until we chucked it through the saw where even with a riving knife the timber would warp bend and twist in on itself as it when past the knife to the point that it would clamp on the blade. Only solution was to shut the saw off exract the timber and either give it a go from the other end of the board of cut off the section you'd cut so that you could rip timber to the correct size.

I had a wicked bad case of salmonella which landed me in the ER. They gave me a tiny dose of dilaudid for the pain, and suddenly I transformed from someone who hadn't slept in a day and a half with stabbing sensations in his guts to someone who couldn't stop talking about how great he felt. I wasn't even tired anymore, it just smoothed over everything. Thank gently caress it was only an emergency measure.
