I’ve seen Ryobi’s cordless miter saw, but this is a cordless table saw

How does the water enter? It’s a pretty forceful jet.

yeah I’d imagine without that jet of water it probably wouldnt work that well. But the theory of it is pretty sound. You’d have to have some natural source of a pretty powerful stream of water.

I don’t know. You could always get one of these. The giant hampster I mean. It wouldn’t be fair to expect the old lady to run that fast just to rip a board. :-)

When they did Hydraulic Mining….they used progressive pipe reductions – each new length of pipe has a smaller and smaller id. This builds pressure in the lines as the water is forced more and more from behind. This could certainly power one of these – they used to blast away entire hillsides during the gold rush days. This would be a great sawmill for someone near water without electricity or a generator. I really enjoy these old designs….it is amazing how they got around not having high voltage….super strong small electric motors….all of the tech innovations we are so comfortable using today. A lot of us old timers can remember when lots of these innovations were discovered as quite a few of them have been made over the last 50 or so years.

What? No zero clearance insert? Where’s the blade guard? :-) That’s one awesome saw, though, and eco-friendly.
