Re: Tablesaw techniques I wouldn't recommend

You know, strangly enough, I have (and use frequently) and old "Sears and Roebuck" table saw. Not a Sears Craftsman TS either, which tells you something about how old it is. I have modified it in a few ways to make it better suited to my needs. I've been a toolmaker for 34 years and I can tell you that these old saws CAN be made safe if you know what your doing, but what he's doing in this vid gave me the heebee jeebees. I don't think he's aware of how quickly that old saw can remove his body parts or how badly it can damage his quality of life for him --- AND HIS DAUGHTER!

Why don't you spend $100 and go to harbor freight or Northern tool or Ebay or something and get a 1/2 horse motor to replace it. It's NOT worth it! I agree with MBerger and I wonder just how stupid this guy really is. The sad part is that he's probably an engineer of some kind.
