Re: Understanding Kickback

Post by masonsailor2 »

I guess I need to reword what I was trying to say. If I had the money I would be tempted to buy one, mostly to see how good a saw they are. I have yet to run into a serious woodworker that owns one. I think the technology is amazing but if the saw isn't up to par the technology is useless. In any case it would have to be able to accept a Unifence system because that's the fence system I use no matter what the saw. Usually that merely involves drilling new holes to accept the fence. I am essentially starting from scratch again because I sold my entire shop when we went on our sailing journey. That being said the first tool in the door was a SS. The only thing I kept in storage was my hand power tools, jigs and the Unifence. I toyed with the idea of buying a Saw Stop for the new shop but I could not find anyone I knew that had used one so I stayed with Rockwell.

One of the wood turning channels I subscribe to is WYOMINGWOODTURNER.
A couple of months ago the host, Sam Angelo had a table saw accident and lost the ends of some fingers due to kickback.
In this video, starting a 7:45, he shows what happened.
