Well, lets see,  got out the Saw Vise Squad..

Ol' No. 1 was set up and used..

As this old saw needed some work on the teeth.   Saw file was sent along..

As this was it's second saw, we had Back Up available..

But the file was no rookie, and came through without any problems , will get the back up file for another time  

Decided to at least give these usual suspects a chance to show what they could do..

6 ppi, filed rip.    Got out a 1 x 1 pine scrap, as a test..

But, it turned into a Crime Scene.   Saw was hard to start, but once it did, it cut very fast....so fast that the hand that was holding the scrap steady for the start , got caught up in the action...

One swipe...was enough to trigger the "Saw_Stop Sensor" 

 

Teeth were drifting to the left in the cut, still had burrs on the teeth on that side,  stoned the burrs off.   Should be ready to go, next time around.  

Decided to work on something a little safer,   got out the leather strop, and the brand new Green Stick, and honed a few chisels....that way, only the strop can get cut..

So, they all should be ready to go, for the next project....I hope.

Needs a new bandaid....and a beer...

or replace the blade!

Steve...glad to see your "Saw Stop" sensing technology worked like a charm.  It appears ready for another incident but hope you won't need to test it again.

 

FYI...SawStop has recently won a lawsuit against Bosch for copying it's technology...I hope you do not receive a notice from their lawyers...

I'm afraid they'd lose that one...fingers have been around for.....couple of million years?   Mine have been around for almost 64 years.....long before saw-stop began. 

Are we going to have to take all your sharp tools away and make you sit in the corner? Remember "always read and follow the instructions that came with your tools." 

 

Maybe we better take up a collection and get you a pair of these...

 

It's Monday. It's a no dungeon day.
