Asking for Trouble

You have got to ask how some people get to be as old as they are. Cutting aluminium on a TS is no issue, it is the one handed technique he uses between the fence and blade. Perhaps using one hand is practise for when he loses one.

Looks too dangerous for me, but most of his fb fans are applauding his "clever" solution. Geez!

[Mike Cutler]

I think he's watched "World's Fastest Indian" one too many times.
It is clever though.

I don't do FB so I have not looked at the comments. I can imagine the piston jamming, pushing his hand into the blade then flying up into his face. I don't want to see the video when it happens.

Another potential Darwin Award candidate...

[Bill Orbine]

Very bold! Not something that I can imagine myself doing today, but maybe if I was younger, who knows. But you got to read some of the comments....one of them has me laughing so hard....."before you know it, you'll be using a hole saw mounted in a plunge router, to bore out your block"

Gee Whiz, makes my posterior pucker watching that. I never thought of trimming Al piston heads with a table saw, seems a little primitive.

This may help the Darwin Effect recover all the lost souls we saved by making everything else in life so "safe".

[Bill White]

I guess that he grinds his camshafts with the belt grinder too.
WAHHHHH! Not in my shop.

For the first time in my life I regret not "doing FB". I confess to a great weakness for viewing Darwin award nominees in action.

He needs a sign for his shop

"Do not use the saw freehand with remaining arm".

..Bunch of wusses !

That was a little scary. I remember cutting a piece of 8" or 10" aluminum bar stock on a old 36" Do-All bandsaw. I just started rolling it slowly through the blade when it caught and spun the 1' long bar in my hands. The sharp end of the bar stock cut both my palms pretty good and it scared the heck out of me. The shop owner soon bought a normal horizontal cutting bandsaw. There's no way I'd do that today but I didn't have much machine shop experience at the time.
