Some wasted pieces from my father workshop bin. It was cut on Globus saw blades for special purpose(bought 20 years ago, type and name faded)

Its waste pieces from my father workshop. Planer, thicknesser and cross saw cuts no finish, no sanding. Its almost mirror surface, you can see different reflection of light on different wood grain hardness density(?)

You could see come saw marks, but surface under fingers is glass smooth.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but that system is so ridiculousLy dangerous to attempt. If you want a serious injury, carry on, but please do not encourage anyone else to replicate.

That's insane!!

It's been around for a long while and is very stupid. Contender for Darwin awards.

Dangerous gimmick. Not unexpected from John Heisz.

He actually says in the description "In all seriousness, I can't recommend doing this. The table saw is for cutting efficiently to accurate dimensions......". The stupidity of doing that without a riving knife ........ jeez. Don't do this, people, it's idiotic.

I saw that video. Yeah... not recommend. A major benefit of a riving knife is to reduce the chance of material grabbing the saw plate (the knife being thinner than the blade kerf, but thicker than the saw plate). Adding sandpaper to a saw plate must surely increase the risk of material being fired back at the operator, regardless of whether you're using a knife or not.

Heinz "look at this mental use of a table saw" Diresta " look what happens when you use a saw in a normal way but it bites you all the same"

Think ill stick to a real sander thanks.

This stuff with sandpaper on blade? We don't do that.
That movie only inspired me to post some photos.

 

[That would work]

Every single gadget, push stick, device, jig, storage etc etc etc EXCEPT a riving knife and guard. He gets the Trumpton award. (that's not political...it was a kids TV program in the sixties). :lol: :lol: :lol:

I learnt what a riving knife is for the hard way. Funnily enough, doing exactly what the Youtube guy did with a similar dimension of timber, but without the sandpaper.

And to be clear, I don't think the sandpaper modification would have saved me!

I vaguely remember seeing articles about commercially made ones ages ago so did a search and there is a company making and selling them in the US. They started over ten years ago but there could have been others before.

Not something I would ever use. Now a bandsaw blade that sands as it cuts.......... :wink:

I'm thinking about glueing a saw blade onto my disc sander. (homer)

This bloke has a circ saw mounted on an angle grinder ,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ox93snKVuaM&t=186s, For me this takes the biscuit making an already dangerous tool absolutely lethal. The problem is that although he is obviously a skilled chippy by sticking video of it on you tube he will encourage others to follow suit. Darwin award in waiting.

Careful now, you'll upset the Pushstick Crusader with such heresy!

Bloke in the UK died from doing that a few years back. It kicked back and cut him in the throat. He was hacking a tree stump.

It was going to happen sooner or later.
