An excellent take on KICKBACK

Bob,

You forgot to put the link in there.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Maybe that’s what we are suppose to read. me I’m staying out of the shop tonight.

GREAT treatise on what to do and NOT to do. Thanks, Bob!

-- North Texas

Should be REQUIRED reading. I learned a lot thanks, Bob #2

-- Fred, Springfield, Ma

Thank you Bob for this lesson. I think this should be part of the instruction included with every saw sold.

-- Bill - If I knew GRANDKIDS were so much fun I would have had them first.

All pretty basic stuff, but this person has gone to a lot of effort to show the kickback effect and how to avaoid it very well. as already said, this should be included with ALL table saw sales.

Sound advice Bob! Thanx for the post.

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

Just like they make people take a training course to get a handgun permit, they should make folks read this and pass a test on it before letting them buy a table saw!

Pretty much everything in here is stuff I knew now , but some of it I learned almost the hard way… through near misses and close calls.

Yeah I can see it now…Free Tablesaw training courses at your favorite Lowes! Let our teenage employees (who can’t tell a nut from a bolt) teach you the finer aspects of ripping our fine Chinese plywood! A First Aid course follows immediately after!

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

OK, I was being sarcastic, I know. But I’m an American and we got that right!

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

Well, I was employing a little hyperbole in my comment, but I’ve got that right as a smart a**. :-)

Come on, Dadoo. Lowes employees know the difference between a nut and bolt. They just don’t have a clue as to where you would find one in the store. Thanks for the info, Bob.
