12 Things You Should NEVER Do on a Table Saw (#7 Took a Pro's Finger)

A piece of oak once launched off my table saw hard enough to dent the wall—and it would have hit me if I’d been standing directly behind the blade. In this video, I break down 12 things you should never do on a table saw and explain the predictable physics that make these mistakes so dangerous. I’ll show you why kickback isn’t bad luck, a temperamental saw, or “ornery” wood. Once I explain what causes the blade to grab and throw a workpiece, you’ll be able to recognize dangerous setups before making the cut—and understand why even experienced woodworkers can lose a finger in a split second. #TableSawSafety #WoodworkingSafety #Kickback #TableSaw #WoodworkingTips #WorkshopSafety
