CaptainSarcastic posted:I just don't get it. I don't understand how someone can look at a breaker panel and not think "I need to be very careful with this." Much less ignore obvious lock-outs. I was taught to respect the gently caress out of electricity, and don't like doing anything with wiring if I can possibly avoid it. There's a jury rigged breaker panel at my work that's rocking at least three or four different violations. Had to run power to new equipment, so the boss got someone on staff to do it who has decent electrical knowledge but isn't an electrician. Been that way for about a year.

Near the start of quarantine my stepfather plugged a space heater into a triple tap, and when I went to change the plug arrangement the plug for the space heater plug gooshed in my hand. It had the consistency of chocolate that has been out in the sun but not quite liquefied. It still squicks me out I was that close to live current, and wonder whether if I wasn't there if it would have been a fire situation.

Had a little OSHA ish experience this week. Our building at work is split in half, stockroom in back, maintenance group in front. In October we replaced a non functioning unit heater in the back, works fine no issues. My office has electric heat, 120 volts on a 20 amp QO breaker. A couple weeks ago the breaker started tripping overnight. We dug around a little bit (this building is pretty cobbled together electrically) and figured out that the refrigerator and water cooler are fed from the same circuit. Well Thursday we decided to correct that. By the time I figured out exactly what was going on this is the list of items fed from the same 20 amp circuit: electric heater in my office, water cooler, refrigerator, the new unit heater we installed last fall and a microwave. I decided to put my clamp meter on it for a while and see what the max was. The peak current was a grand total of 32.5 amps with the microwave running AND THE BREAKER NEVER TRIPPED. I still cannot figure out why the breaker only trips overnight when no one is there but I guess it’s a good thing it did.

Probably feeding something else you’re not aware of that only comes on at night. Or the heater(s) run more at night and push it up to 40 or something.

Here's the "trip curve" for a 20 amp Square D QO breaker.  You were at about 1.5x rated current, so it should have tripped off at about 100 seconds, but all it takes is a little bit out of tolerence on the breaker, or one of the appliances cycling off within that 100 second window to keep the breaker from tripping. My guess would be that after running all day the overcurrent element would heat soak enough to trip, then cool off to be reset in the morning.

Source4Leko posted:Are there any kits to add blade guards to old table saws? Mine is like 60 years old and obviously didn't come with one but it utterly kicks rear end in every way, exposed motor, external belt drive and utterly eats anything i push thru it. Also got it for 50 bucks, but my wife is terrified of it even tho she knows how to use them. She's probably right to be scared of it. If your saw doesn't have a riving knife, you can make a splitter that is almost as safe. You basically build a wooden replacement insert to replace the metal plate that goes around the blade and glue in a piece of wood the width of your blade to keep stuff from grabbing the back of the blade. You can see one in this video that explains all the common causes of kickback and how to avoid them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8f8VWwtaudU&t=192s Bloody Hedgehog posted:Sawstops are quite popular these days. Obviously the safety features are paramount, but they're actually great quality and incredibly well built power tools as well. Same guy as above talking about how you can run dripping wet wood through a Sawstop without it triggering (watch before the timestamp for bonus content of a guy putting a hotdog in a rubber glove and ramming it into a running saw at ludicrous speed to show that it still won't cut your finger off): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NV6Jhw0hhBI&t=188s

Leper Go-getter posted:We know tablesaws, lathes and most rotating machinery craves the taste blood, but I want to give a quick nod to the unassuming hydraulic powered equipment mount. Quick Coupler Locking Pins. I've rebuilt the cylinders a couple times even though Deere will tell you its a throw away. Also I have never seen anyone use it for an attachment point when there's usually a big hole in the bucket plate thing you can stick a chain or strap through. Maybe I've just been lucky.

gently caress SNEEP posted:
I am an old goon, and I had wood shop in 8th grade in 1979 in Tennessee. That sounds like a recipe for disaster. However, our teacher was really, really focused on us being safe. I could easily have ended up with less than all of my fingers after that class, but our teacher really made safety a priority. I didn't really appreciate that then; but I sure do now.

His Divine Shadow posted: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. It can happen with a riving knife, too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulvP8Vv9SrE Pretty rare situation here, but they're still terrifying machines. Got rid of mine (and all my power tools except the drill press) about 2 years ago and I'm perfectly happy sawing things by hand now.

Elder Postsman posted:It can happen with a riving knife, too: Yeah but I'd say a riving knife prevents over 99% of kickback situations, and with my saw that situation is not possible because it's a right tilting saw (which you want when you got a sliding table)

A 24 year old woman went overboard on a Danish container ship near where I live. Wind is at 6-8 beaufort with gusts at 10 and -8°C. Water is at around 2°C. I don't know why but that affects me more than the car deaths. It's a terrible way to die.
