Outlaw's Board Butter - So Good it Should be Outlawed: www.731woodworks.com/store/boardbutter
I've been using a table saw, router, radial arm saw and others for 20 years and never cut a finger. I got hit by pieces of wood but never injured
my thumb is pretty much healed up, Yep I reached around!
Perfect job on the video! I'm very scared of table Saws, I'm using them, all cautious each time I make cuts! But your video is just perfect, and I'm glad you tackled the safety of the table saw! Well, done, sir!
Really good, basic safety. Makes a great argument for building table saws designed for left-handed people. I stand to the right ofy fence. Like most things I'm life, it's ok, if I need to cheat on safety since I'm a lefty!
Awsom
My neighbors were appalled that my father was teaching me to use a circular saw when I was 5 years old. He told them "first he won't Saw without me". "Second he will grow up with all of his fingers". I'm a 66-year-old machinist and I have all my fingers😅
I had my little daughters work power tools, split wood, get super comfortable with making all kinds of cuts. The kindergarten teacher: “Oh my God, she has third grade scissor skills!”
we teach our kids all kinds of stuff every day, and they learn stuff every day. if you teach them how to properly handle tools i.e. saws, drills, guns, knives, they will learn that stuff. its parents who pretend those things dont exist, get most upset when their kids find them and have no idea how to respect them.
Most people will tell you that a tablesaw is dangerous, or they will say 'don't do it like this' very rarely was I able to find an actual explanation on how to use a tablesaw safely, I avoid tablesaws and find other ways to get the job done or have it done by someone with enough knowledge and experience to do it safely.
By simply recommending a tourniquet and being so focused on safety you earned yourself a subscription right there!
Agreed. I’m a first aid and stop the bleeding instructor and keep a basic trauma kit in my motorcycle bag, vehicle, work truck, first responder backpack (Park Ranger), and in my camper. I never thought to have it in the workshop, despite the obvious hazards. I’m going to move a kit there this morning. Fantastic video and I just subscribed.
I teach tablesaws and tablesaw safety. This is the best, most comprehensive and accurate tablesaw safety video I have seen. You cover everything plus a little more. Excellent job!
As someone who has a habit of obsessively researching things, I've watched my fair share of tablesaw safety videos. I think this is the clearest and most comprehensive one out there, so great job! You earned a new subscriber
I've been an on again/off again hobbyist woodworker since I was young, helping my dad in the shop. There's not really anything new here that I haven't already figured out myself or been taught, except having a tourniquet handy, that's not something I had ever even considered, but seeing all these safety tips put together in one concise video is definitely a good refresher and I'd go so far as to say this should be a must watch for anyone getting into woodworking or for any parent to show their kids that want to help them in the shop. Even after working with table saws, miter saws, radial arm saws, etc. for 50+ years, I still get flutters in my stomach when I fire one up. A healthy dose of fear can make the difference between having all your fingers left at the end of the day or not.
I have been a professional wood worker for 30 years and I would suggest this video to anyone as a refresher for the pro and for the beginner. Thanks, Bruce
You mentioned bracelets. Don't forget to remove ALL rings and wristwatches.
Why would pros need a “refresher?” This is rookie stuff most of us learned when we were 12.
@@wulf67 People do dumb things all the time - even the pros. Sometimes a "silly" reminder is all one needs to avoid catastrophe, stop and think. It's why law enforcement, firefighters, paramedics, military, and other similar professionals take "refresher" courses over and over and over again...
@@benkenobi671 Law enforcement should take more courses in law. None of them understand the 1st Amendment
I always watch the safety videos. The accident videos too even though it's difficult. Doesn't matter if it's stuff I know. I'd rather that be beat into my head. I have a healthy fear of my saw and the last thing I want to do is get complacent.
Hi from Australia. I have been a keen woodworker for 45 years and I use my tablesaw daily. This is the best safety / usage video I have ever watched. Really, really good, and a 'must watch" for anyone who uses this tool. I am still nursing a massive bruise on my ribs after I became complacent a few weeks ago.... I knew that what I was doing was "suss", but went ahead anyway. Never again!! Thank you.
Female UK Diyer who is finally getting her home next month which has a garage so can build my workshop. I want to get a table saw but they scare me. I would have loved to buy the saw stop but they don't seem to sell in the UK, so I always binge on these videos to get some tips. If I get a table saw, would be a compact one, maybe Dewalt, Bosch ect. But one thing for sure, I need my fingers, I value my body parts to screw around with some shortcuts. Respect your tools and don't take shortcuts.
Enjoy!
If they sell FLEX in the UK, you might want to check out one of their upcoming 2 table saws.
I have used a table saw for 50 years started in wood shop at 16 now I am 66., I have owned three saws a real cheap one , small craftsman cast iron and a few years ago bought bought a forty year old large cast iron craftsman. I been bit at least three times with kick back. I don’t have a riving knife or blade guard but use wood spacers on long board and feather-board to minimize kickback. But I am very careful but the credit for not knicking a finger was Mr. Friend my wood shop teacher. Take classes and listen and practice what a good instructor teaches. Thanks Mr. Friend!
I would suggest getting a tablesaw with as big of a top as possible to fit in your space. Every inevitably cuts wood larger the table. Consider whatever you buy, build into its own cabinet/bench. Take a look at this channel. Over the years she has scaled up to better tools, but always keep the DIYer in mind. IN one video she provided multiple to join boards. ruclips.net/video/22oqr6o5z-w/видео.htmlsi=6pCIaz2HZs3lu9bO
Do you have the Bosch Reax saws in the UK?
Thank you for the great safety information. I am an airline pilot and one of the ways that stay safe is risk management... identify what the risks are and mitigate with planning... exactly what you are doing where. I do not like using a table saw, but sometimes it is the tool to got get the job done. When I do use the table saw, I approach it like a preflight. NO lose clothing, clean floor with no slip hazard around the saw, cutting material laid out and easy to access, push stick close by and easy to grab, make sure that my wife is home and she knows that I am using the table saw, ETC.. Your video has added some great tips to the "preflight." Thanks again for the great content... and thanks for making me spend another $100? (LOL)! Keep up the great work.
Checklist is a great idea!!!
This is by far the best table saw safety video out there. Not only do you state the dangers and how to fix it, you say what could happen, you reinforce thought processes and internal conversations we have with ourselves like cutting something freehand - "this is not allowed" - people need to say that in their head when they're thinking of doing it. You really hammered home all of the points extremely well. Great video.
I don't cut freehand, but I know carpenters who do it all the time and never get hurt. One key to accidents is most saws are overpowered. The guys I have seen do it are running dry wood through a saw with maybe 3/4 hp motors. 3 and 5 HP saws will kill you, but those are not really necessary in most shops. and they certainly aren't going to be carried to a job site.
@@tacticalskiffs8134 Why would you even put that Idea in someone's head?? A 3/4 hp saw is plenty powerful enough to kick back. Plus depending the position of the hand when it happens it can pull the hand into the blade. If the blade has enough power to cut wood it has enough to cut flesh and bone. Like I said Very bad way of thinking!!!!!
Besides the Idea behind a table saw is to make precise cuts. If you want to free hand use a bandsaw or something more forgiving!!!
I am really glad to see you mention tourniquets, I feel like that isn't talked about enough. I get it, it's not pleasant to think about, and like many things, a lot of people think "it'll never happen to me" but unfortunately some of them are wrong. Many people also tend to overlook the fact that if the tool can cut hardwoods, or aluminum and other non-ferrous metals with the right blade, and cut them quickly - it can cut clean through you with ease if given the opportunity (SawStop not withstanding)
One thing to note about practicing with tourniquets - make it a point to practice applying them to both sides (meaning using your left hand to apply one to your right arm and vice versa) because when you need to do everything backwards from how you practiced is not a good time to learn...
Really? I know about how Ts saved all kinds of lives in the sandbox. But with a TS just what exactly are you cutting off that will cause that level of arterial bleeding. Gunshot wounds easy. Maybe even a drastic bandsaw accident. Certainly a bad chisel accident, But a TS?
There's an artery in your wrist, very close to the blade when you're pushing stock through the saw.
@@tacticalskiffs8134 TS wrist and forearms. But you have it for all possible accidents, like a circular saw hitting your leg. Inside of your theigh runs a major artery.
It's not comfortable buying tourniquets, but I'm convinced that I'll buy a few tourniquets!
Just because if I have then, there will be less chances that I'll need then.
But if I don't own tourniquets, Murphy's Law can make than needed.
I never had a hard drive failure: the reason is because I allways kept paranoid backups. 😊
@@OgbondSandvol In germany we say 'haben ist besser als brauchen' - 'better to have something, than to need something', which is kinda to whole idea of PPE and first aid stuff. Just like riding a bike. 'Dress for the slide, not the ride' always worked for me. 👍
As a retired Certified Safety Professional I really appreciate all the great tips and recommendations. There is a lot here that everyone who works with table saws needs to heed. Well done!
Great video. I've been using a table saw since I was 18. I'm 52 now. I've always tried to be safe. Another rule that is probably worth adding and probably should go without saying is if you wouldn't do it while driving, don't do it while using power tools. In other words, don't drink and cut. Don't cut drunk. Don't cut while you are sleepy. Don't cut while you are distracted. Don't cut while you are playing on your phone. Don't text while cutting. Avoid wood rage. If that piece of wood doesn't work out like you wanted, or the cut is going really slow, getting mad about it is just going to make you do something stupid and cause an accident.
Anyway, I see some Festool tracks on the wall there. How are those hanging up? I have an 8+ foot track that I want to hang horizontally on my wall like that.
One of the best, perhaps *the* best videos I've ever seen in my life. Sixty six years old and I'm still learning, with the help of people like this. Thank you!!
This is easily the best beginner guide I've ever watched 🙏
I think the tourniquet on the saw is a great idea. At the very least serves as a reminder to think twice about what you're doing.
The most important class I have ever taken is table saw safety. It's an annual refresher for me and I never get tired of taking this class. Great video! Thanks
Definitely one of the best “save work” videos l ever saw.
No show, no tingle/tangle.
Straight- simple- honest!
🙏🏻🙏🏽Thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏻
Thanks for mentioning the tourniquet. This is the first video I've seen that mentions the importance of having a tourniquet on hand. I have three in the shop and one in my toolbox.
From personal experience, having one around saved my life. Sooner or later accidents do happen.
Holy SH**. This vid should be mandatory viewing for anyone looking to get a table saw. You should have to view and sign a freaking contract - that says you've watched this, before you even buy one. I'll be watching more. Up until now, the tool that I have that puts the fear of god into me most has been my chainsaw. it still does. But now - it will be on par with the table saw. Thanks for making this and sharing.
What a great video.... NO wasted time, everything in the video you need to hear
Matt, I’ve been a supporter of your videos since I started this hobby three years ago. I’m a small-town pastor and really just appreciate you. For what it’s worth, though I watch each of your videos, it’s good to see you teaching again. I always appreciated your “how to” videos, and this is another “how to (and not to)” that is instructive. Blessings, and thank you.
Thank you so much for making this video! I haven't used a table saw much and just acquired one this past summer. I am really, really glad that I found this video before I start using it.
Great video. About 4 yrs ago I was gifted a brand new DeWalt table saw my first ever. I had used one about 40 yrs before in shop class and none since( always used an electric hand saw, cheap.) Anyway I was all excited and having been in the service I knew safety is key to survival. As excited as I was I spent the best part of a month viewing videos on table saw safety. Each winter as the snow flies I take time to review the safety videos as a primer before my spring projects. This video was excellent and am going to get a couple of the accessories you recommended.
Can't like this video enough. EVERY new woodworker needs to watch this. Such a great service you provided with just this one video. Subscribing just for this.
Yup, I do understand the concept w blade guards...however, I have never used them. I wanna see the cut as I'm cutting. I know, I know. Some ALWAYS use them, I don't. Your tips are well taken. So when I have bought a new table saw, I always remove the guard. I love the smaller Dewalt table saw, they work great, but my day to day saw is the larger Bosch table saw on wheels. I love it. Thx
Just started doing wood work. Found your video really helpful. Thank you. Stopped me from making some rather silly mistakes
Great video!
My 6th grade shop teacher explained that the height of the table saw blade above the work should equal the amount of blade that you want to go into your hand! I have been following that advice for 45 years.
Great refresher video and some I didn't even think about.
Brilliant suggestion on practicing with the tourniquet. I have never thought about it. I do have two in my shop and one in the kitchen but never thought of practicing. Thank you.
Thanks for your genuine care for our safety. I've been doing woodworking and construction projects for years. Carelessness has caused me to injure my pushing hand twice due to kickback. Now at 71 mental acuity is not what it once was so I have to be extra vigilant with safety. Videos like this one are a great refresher on the subject. Stay safe and enjoy building and creating.
Great video. I’ve been woodworking for several years, but will still watch videos like this as a refresher.
Always love your videos, been doing woodworking for 40 years and I still learn a thing or two from you. Thanks.
I taught the freshman woodshop class at a high school for over 30 years. Safety was the first few of weeks of class. Demonstrations on each piece of equipment, followed up by safety tests and practice by each student. When we got to the table saw I gave multiple demonstrations on its use and safety over two days. After reminding students to stand in the correct position at the saw and always making sure that the area behind them was clear before cutting, the first kid stepped up to make his practice cut, freaked out and let go of his board just as it cut off, the kickback was intense. The board shot back and slammed into the metal cover on the room heater which was about 15 feet away. The dent it left in that cover stunned us all. The kids eyes were huge! The first words that came out of that kids mouth were "Holy Shit, will you cut my parts for me?" Much to my chagrin, his classmates called him "Kickback" for the semester and they all cleared the area when he used the table saw. Respect your equipment! Teaching that class was kept me awake at night!
This video makes people safer. I can feel the concern for other woodworkers, and this is a really great video.
There is an argument to be made regarding the geometry of the blade being low, causing kickbacks. Less downward thrust and more horizontal thrust.
Great tips for beginner wood workers. And really reminder for the seasoned wood worker.
Thanks ever so much for your valuable safety advice. Appreciate it.
This is the best table saw safety video I have seen. I feel safer now thanks for this.
I'm just getting into woodworking and this is the best safety and use video Ive seen so far. Thank you for being so thorough!
same here mate and I now know that I have avoided accidents more by luck than judgement.
Thank you for this video. Every content creator who uses tools should watch this, as well as similar videos on other tools. Your explanation is clear and effective; great job. I often find myself frustrated with RUclips content creators who use tools incorrectly or unsafely, even if they claim it's just for the sake of the video. What you do off camera is your business, but whenever you demonstrate a tool on camera-regardless of whether it's the video's main focus or if you feel strict safety measures are excessive-you must always prioritize proper safety practices and equipment. Remember, not all viewers may have your level of understanding or skill. If you act irresponsibly, someone might imitate your actions exactly, especially younger viewers. Always lead by example; never be the reason someone gets hurt because they saw something done unsafely on RUclips and thought it was okay.
I would love to see / find a video like this on bandsaws and routers. i see so mush misuse of bandsaws on line, it is ridiculous.
Great video evev for long term woodworker! Guilty of many of the things you talked about! Thank you and stay safe
Great work. Thank you very much for helping keep us all safe.
I think the government should stay out of my business!!
Papers please! I see some wrong think going on!
Derrr took our jeeeeebs
Just think of the nice road you drive on to get to work 👍
Against seatbelt and helmet laws too I bet
We need more safety videos like this, all very sensible suggestions, if you have saved just one person from losing their fingers or worse, your time and effort will be worth it, good work and thanks.
This is the BEST video on RUclips dealing with this subject ❤❤❤❤
Recently acquired a table saw and I learnt so much from this video. Thanks so much.
As an experienced woodworker, your video is full of great reminders. I believe all woodworkers would benefit from watching it - no matter how experienced. Another reason to watch your video is that it is comprehensive - meaning you really touched on everything I could think of. Thank you so much!
this is really important and thank you blessed
Thank you so much for that beautiful, professional, informative, well planned and executed video.
After 3 Kickback events and one injury, I put my table saw aside and use only a Jig and circular saw.
This video is so important!!! none of my accident would happened if I was watching this before .
I consider seriously to use it again, but not before review your video just before action.
Great Job,
BTW, we can feel that you are a very wise man out of the video you have made.
Thanks again, Joel from Israel.
I am glad I came across your video. I'm 45 years old with an Autistic mind. And I was cutting wood not too long ago with an old tablesaw my mother got from her mother's after granny passed, and had a kick back twice. Tore my hand up pretty good just from the woof. Healed now. Buy always nice to find videos like these to help me develop some more ideas to check for before cutting. I tried to watch some videos before using tablesaw. I knew the "basics and how they worked and what not, but been a long time since I've seen anyone use one. So I appreciate the video. I'm just getting in to woodworking so it's nice to know what I'm getting into and how to use things more carefully and what the parts are for and how they should operate, the tiny parts; like spring tension and such. I was actually looking to figure out how to manipulate and move bigger piece of logs. I had someone dump just about an entire red oak tree in my driveway for me, for free. Now I just need to figure out how to move it without the special lifts and such. Lol
Thanks for a great video. Your lessons on how to avoid kickback are a very helpful reminder. I had used a table saw for over 40 years before I had my first accident - caused by kickback pushing my hand into the blade. I now own a sawstop - while a sawstop's technology can reduce the risk of injury, you still need to use safe practices. I already use several of the safety tools you recommend & will be purchasing more.
Really helpful for a beginning table saw user like me. Thank you very much!
Top presentation. Thanks!!!
Thanks a LOT!!!! Lots of amazing advice given here. Will be getting all that I need, the tourniquets as well.
Thank you for the information.
Great Video! You may have just saved my Life! I realize now that all these years I've been doing a few things wrong and I'm extremely lucky to not have any serious injuries. Thanks again.
Wow! Izzy if you want a few more good tips check out izzy swans tables saw safety videos. Not that anything was wrong here but the more the better. I once dropped my fence and sat it back on my saw. Later that day I was using it to make a rip cur on a small short board. No push stick and as it went through the fence was angled towards the blade. It kicked backed the worst I ever had. I was using my thumb to push it through and I do always wrap my ring and pinky fingers around my fence so my hand can't get pulled into the blade. But as the board flew back at 500 mph (or whatever) the corner plowed into the skin breaking the knuckle on y thumb and removing the skin to the bone. From just the corner of soft white pine. The sad thing is I grew up around the tools and had over 30 yrs experience at the time. Just lazy as my push stick was on my other saw and the other 5 I own was buried on the bench. Now they have a place to hang on the saw all the time. I was damn lucky. Like he said the entire time I turned the saw on to the kick back my gut feeling was this is not that smart. Lol
If your saw has a thin fence you can wrap those two fingers around it is a smart Idea that my father taught me. Then the rule of thumb is If you can spread your hand out thumb against the blade and touch the fence you should use a push stick.
I feel it is important for us all to share miss happs and remind each other proper safety. It is too easy to get lazy and think it wont happen to us. Now I have a thumb that is full of arthritis and enlarged for life.
I have a tourniquet in my range bag, never thought a second having one next to my table saw, but its a very good advice !
Amen brother...thank you.
Thanks for the video!
All aspects of safety considered!
Thank you for sharing your valuable information. Very, very well done!
Thank you…what a great video. Table saws and especially budget ones are more ready available to everyone and his dog these days, almost a plug and play product,which probably means that the majority of us out here are totally unaware of the features and dangers that you have clearly highlighted. Well done from an absolute amateur.
Great video about safety and tools needed to stay safe (if used). One thing that is not mentioned enough is the tourniquet, they are a must-have item. And I want to thank you for the Free Gift. It is a gift that keeps giving. I needed to hear the truth and see the light. Thank you, Matt.
Fantastic video - thanks so much for the tips, suggestions, and safety recommendations!
Excellent video, thanks for taking the time to make it!
EXCELLENT fuggeon job ! I've been using table saws for 34 yrs and had only one semi-serious kickback. I have learned my lessons for "set up" and "use" . Your presentation is the best I have ever seen .....anywhere. Thank Your Doctor SafetyNet .
Thank you for doing this video, especially the strong recommendation for a tourniquet in the workshop. Never thought of it but makes so much sense. Just bought some. Thank you again!
Great video, thank you. I'll be getting my first table saw soon, and I really appreciate learning the most important safety tips so that (hopefully) I will never get a serious injury from one of the most dangerous tools in the workshop.
So glad I watched this video. I just asked my dad the other day how to make repeatable thin cuts easily and then you show the thin rip jig! Can’t wait to get one!
Very informative...I am new to woodwork and want to fulfill my long-time passion in carpentry. I stumbled across your video and it's a great guide to a beginner as myself. Thank you for this piece and for all that you do.
Essential video mate. Thanks
Thank you for your tutorial.
Excellent reminders thx!!!
Great video and explanations of "why".
Very informative. Thank you.
Excellent Presentation. Love d the focus on safety as you can never see or learn enough or to much about safety.
Thank you.
I am definitely getting some of the add-on and using the know to protect myself and keep my digits on my person and my TS a better tool.
I have watched a ton of WW videos, but yours always make me feel confident and not an idiot, even being a newb. Also, when you say minimal tools, you mean it.
Thank you for all the good information.
Thanks very important video - safety first!
Thanks for the advice. I just recently started using a table saw and feel uneasy because the opportunity for injury is high. My go to for many years has been a miter and circular saw. I've had a few dangerous kickbacks in the past and learned from experience how to avoid it and prevent injury from it. A table saw makes me nervous and unlike a circular saw your more exposed to injury with the blade facing up and limited control of the material. I prefer a firm grip on the tool im using and a finger on the power button. With the circular saw im guilty of holding the blade guard back to get the cut easily started but release it once up on the surface. The accessories you suggest help get the job done safely, build confidence, and make using a table saw a more pleasant experience.
The only thing I would add is be aware of your surroundings, move obstacles that could interfere with your work path, and limit distractions especially children and pets. When I was a very young child in the early 70's my father was using his table saw and I would pick up the scraps as they hit the floor. Unfortunately I got too close and my shirt got sucked into the motor belt. it quickly pulled me into a big grinder wheel mounted on the end of the saw motor. His initial instinct was to try to tear me away from it but with no success. When it started grinding away at my flesh he went for the power cord but the damage was done and a trip to hospital to repair my stomach. later that year he ran the tip of his index finger into the blade all the way up through his entire fingernail. It was a bloody mess with a lot of screaming and another trip to the hospital. Today I still get anxious when I hear the saw motor fire up.
Your videos are very informative. Thank you for your posting.
I'm still new to the hobby and I recently inherited a reallly old table saw that is similar to your old Delta - no riving knife. Still saving for a more modern saw.
I just got the Dewalt table saw in your video. It’s great but I’m new. Thank you so much for this video. As a left hander it’s going to take some practice.
Great video!!!
I am beginner on woodworking. I learned a lot today.
Great stuff man. Thank you. More tangible thanks to follow. Really appreciated.
What a great video. My saw has been down and I'm getting ready for the new year's woodworking. Considering I've made almost all the mistakes you talked about I feel lucky. I'm fortunate to have all my digits. I'll be watching more videos sir.
Great video! I made myself a couple zero clearance inserts for my old craftsman saw that I restored. I never thought about stuff falling in and kicking out, and I'd agree it's probably good for that if that were to happen. It definitely helps most of the sawdust go down with the blade and not kick up which helps simplify my setup a lot. Now I just need a vacuum on the bottom and it'll be about time the old motor kicks the bucket on me, so I've been putting that part off.
Thank you very much for your valuable recommendations , I wish I had seen this video before using my table saw . I was very lucky not to have serious injury but a small one two days ago . I had wearing a hand kerchief and I tried to get the sawed wood over the blade and in a moment , less than a second , the blade took the handkerchief and a very small part of my finger . Thank you again and I highly recommend to the users to follow your instructions.
Thanks for the tips. I’m just starting out and you’ve provided some really good hints to consider to help with my new hobby.
Thanks for the video, ton of good info 👍
