Eh, that's not the most dangerous thing that saw can do.

It's a pretty big explosion. By "pretty", I mean "huge". And, by "huge", I mean "pretty huge".

And, of course, by "pretty huge", I mean it's big.

Don't mess with me on this. I have years of describing things in "huge" terms.

Nobody bit?

It's because I have that huge miter saw!

Better keep this thread on the rails before Mark starts bragging about his 12" slider...

I believe it's been brought up before, but Dewalts saw BLADES are the weak point on their saws. Freud make some nice blades at reasonable cost and their heavy duty/industrial blades are better than the "regular" Freuds found in your local HD or Lowes.

Actually what I was saying is that table saw and miter saw blades are indeed mostly the same and are interchangeable from one to the other. It's just the "Combo blade" that is 'kinda' table saw specific because it is designed for ripping as well. You could still use it on your miter saw though. Huge explosions aside, of course.

"boom!"

Ken, that looks fantastic! You really did an awesome job on it.

Good video/lesson on table saw kickback .

Holy crap. That was close.

So I've been thinking about buying more power tools... 'cause. I don't have any current projects that would need more than I have/have borrowed, but I've got some cash burning a hole in my pocket.

So I was looking at a router setup, but BOY that seems like a huge money sink. There's a router, a table, a table insert, a fence for the table, bits... Still, it seems like a shop essential to help me take my woodworking to a higher level.

Any recs on decent equipment? I'm thinking that a benchtop table will work best for me in the space I have, since I don't think I've got room to do a table saw attached table, as convenient as that would be.
