Slo-Mo Shopsmith Saw Blade Video in Hi-Def

Post by algale »

Have you ever wanted to see a Shopsmith thin-kerf combination blade (p/n 555958) in slo-mo and Hi-Def?

I thought so! This video took only a few seconds in real time but is a minute forty-eight in slo-mo, so be prepared to be bored. The lighting flickers because of the use of the fluorescent light in my shop, and things bounce too much because my phone is resting on the front of the table, but here it is in all its totally useless glory!

The reason for this video is I was curious to see if there was any obvious blade flutter. I think there's some. But I get very good quality cuts nonetheless.

Methinks repeating with it actually cutting something would be more 'revealing'(variable forces endured by the blade).

Actual frame rate?

Whatever frame rate the iPhone 6S uses for slo-mo. I have no idea.
