Wow. That body parts recover cooler is the ultimate safety reminder. I hope that’s stored front and center for everyone to see when they enter and exit your shop. What a great idea. Thanks for making and sharing this content.

A very educational video. You get a bunch of very useful advices how to work with the table saw in a good way. I'm new to table sawing, so I really appreciate this video. Made me a lot more confident in working with my newly purchased saw.

Probably one of the best videos on shop safety and safe table saw technique I have ever seen, Thank you!

I have been looking to purchase a mitre saw or a table saw and part of my research has been watching these safety videos about them. This is by far the best video I have seen so far on using a table saw, thank you for taking so much time care in explaining these important techniques.

This video should be mandatory for every new woodworker that buys a table saw. No nonsense just facts and a detailed explanation on what to do and why.

Enormously informative! The 'body-part' recovery box, although unpleasant, was a taste of reality that we have to accept. You clearly are a man that cares about his staff. Kudos for a well presented safety video!

I’ve only had my saw a week and I’m watching as many safety video as possible, this is definitely one of the better ones. I agree with those that say video like this should be compulsory viewing.

After watching your video, I developed a very high level of respect for you and what you do. You really seem like a great teacher. I like how you take it a step further and explain why you do this or dont do that. When teaching beginners anything, I feel it is important to cover each task in detail. When you are talking about everything, you seem to know the next question someone might have regarding the info you are covering. Good job, keep up the good work. Definitely the best video I have seen on a table saw so far.

Thank you for creating this tutorial. I bought a table saw 30+ years after high school shop class and I know how important safety is. It helped refresh and improve my wood working skills.

Humble pie!!! I just set up my own shop recently here in Australia and wish I'd have watched this video before I started using my newly bought Table saw!!! I got away lightly! I just can't believe you can purchase one of these pieces of machinery without a simple certificate or at least a compulsory video viewing, like this one! I got away with all my fingers (amazingly!!!). Just a ripped off nail and nail bed, two massive chunks of flesh from two other fingers and a graft from my upper forearm to repair the damage! I consider myself more than lucky!
Thank you very much for such a comprehensive safety video... I've been making notes all the way through and feel very fortunate to have seen this video!!! Thanks again, James

I've been using a table saw for years but still learned valuable information. I immediately sent the link to my son who just purchased his first saw. I believe it will save us both learning lessons the hard way. Thank you so much.

Good straight forward, common sense safety techniques. A must to learn and remember at all times. Great video.

[joedubya]

Thank you Sir for this video. Being the first major tool in my shop, I came here looking for ways to cross cut on a table saw. Thank you for including that non-ideal situation in your teaching: you definitely saved me from making one or two major safety mistakes.

[georgevalenzuela]

Definitely one of the best safety videos I’ve seen! Thanks for sharing! God bless!

Thank you so much for this video and the safety practices. I have a healthy fear of power tools, especially table saws. After over 20 years of making do without, I finally odered one and now doing my homework ahead of time. I really like your push tools and will make them for myself. Thank you!

Great video! I'm only 5'1" tall and I had a close call leaning over an unprotected blade. Ignorance can be deadly. Now I've made it a point to learn how to use the equipment safely before I start any project. Thank you, I've learned so much.

[toddlavigne]

excellent video..I just started using a table saw and now feel much safer with this information....thank you

[garydietzel]

This is a great learning and refresher video for the table saw. Even using one for years we have a tendency to forget some safety factors and take short cuts which can end up with bad results. I've been scared several times with my table saw to make you sit down, catch your breath and think about what you did. I also do dry runs at times to be sure I'll be safe from the blade.
