I have a photograph in a 1930's encyclopedia showing this!

It's the same sort of physics as firing a wax candle through a board, which people do every so often.

I don't know, no riving knife or top guard totally lethal.
But I wonder what it would cut like with teeth?

I'd imagine teeth would weaken it to the point of failure at the first thing it tried to cut.
This must work in the same way a diamond tile saw works, constant abrading as oppoosed to actual cutting with teeth
