As a person that truly likes using RAS, you did nothing wrong. You could improve the jugs a bit, but you did a great job! You are just doing things you didn’t know you could do! There are more things to learn with it! Try cutting multiple 4” wide boards at one time. Like (8) 1x4 exactly same length with two cuts. Can’t do that on a table saw.

DUDE MY GOD THAT IS.. probably one of the coolest fucking videos over seen on woodworking it was entertaining as hell the editing was AWESOME!!! And the music? Absolutely perfect as I'm from out in the middle of farmland in the northwest part of the states enumclaw washington USA and that's the kind of stuff I grew up on. Also genius by making that a sort of dado stock removal device! Man. I'm so impressed. Great video. I took interest because of the thumbnail and the fact that I'm going to make something that I shouldn't make out of my radial arm saw... That's what we call them up here in States and I got it without the table base so it's just the crane style tube and the long track up top with the saw connected to the track on rollers you know so it's just the whole entire thing but just without the table so it looks like a kind of a crane almost but my idea is to get some C channel tubing and put some bearings inside it and then have a heavy duty pipe which I do have some 3" diameter almost 1/4" thick steel pipe that I'm going to weld onto the "C channel bearing trolley" and then have the base bolted onto the pipe so it will be horizontal and I'll be able to turn it and basically make some milling cuts and of course throw on my 14" blade onto the arbor! Take off the guards! And it'll be a miniature swing blade mill!

It is called coving, not crosscut. This technique can be used in both a robust TS or a robust RAS, but not the RAS shown. I have this Ryobi RAS as my first RAS, then I bought a Dewalt 10" and then a Craftsman 12". I will not hesitate to do coving with the 12" Craftsman or even the 10" Dewalt, but not the Ryboi. For one thing, the Ryobi has a one sided yoke. The Ryobi is a universal motor saw and can be used as a router at the other end. This is a versatile router. For this reason I still keep it for fun routing, overhead and angled routing. It makes good router cut pocket holes, by rotating the motor during the cut.

Excellent box. I know your girl loved it. You didnt do anything exceptionally dangerous with your radial arm saw. Not sure why you are telling everyone not to do the same thing. Only thing I might have done differently is leave the blade giard on. No need to remove it for what you did.

@thatspecialkindofstupid4600

2 жыл бұрын

Ya, she'd better after all the work in it! I would agree about the guard except I couldn't swing the blade to a steep enough angle with it on.

I'm sitting here still recovering from a severe table saw kickback. Table saws are the most dangerous tool in the world, hands down. Most older saws not having a riving knife or splitter or guard on them, makes them nothing but a "kick back" machine, ready to inflict permanent, life altering damage. The illusion of safety in a table saw, is that the blade is mostly hidden. But when the piece of wood gets pinched between the fence, and the blade, that illusion of safety turns into a 95 mph wooden projectile, heading straight at your neck, and your hand is "sucked" at 95 mph straight towards the blade, as the work piece you were once holding has been launched like a rocket, and your hand was firmly attached to that piece of material as it left the saw. I still have all my fingers, hence why I can type this message. But I now own 3 radial arm saws, and will be using them with custom made guards that cover the entire blade. Due to the blade being on top of the work, the "frisbee" kickback doesn't occur on a radial arm saw, and it's much easier to build a custom guard on a radial arm saw, with the table being made out of wood, and the original blade guards having bosses for auxiliary sliding guards. And, all radial arm saws have anti-kickback pawls, where as, no table saw has those anymore. You also need an "anti-kickback" blade on a radial arm saw, one that has non-cutting "shoulder" teeth in between each cutting tooth. A professional blade will not be safe, so buy a super low quality Chinese blade with "anti-kickback" shoulder teeth on it, like the Diablo 40 tooth universal combo blade, or any Freud entry level general purpose, NOT a Ridge Carbide or Forrest pro blade (these blades have no "shoulders" on them, which could save you from a bad "climb" on a radial arm saw when crosscutting). A very low quality blade, or a very expensive and awful negative hook blade will be the safest on a radial arm saw. Negative hook blades can safe your life, by resisting anything resembling a fine, clean, effortless and powerful cut. Negative hook blades are designed not to actually cut anything, so it will help you be safe. Summary: Do not use a table saw without a riving knife. I don't care what your excuse is, it's not a valid reason not to have a riving knife. The intensity of a kickback without a riving knife is so severe, that table saws without riving knives should be illegal to own. Get a flap of metal that is about 0.010" thinner than your blade kerf, slap it on with some bolts and washer shims. Or buy a Shark Guard aftermarket riving knife, or a Micro Jig Kerf Splitter from Amazon which temporarily attaches to your throat plate. The Micro Jig kerf splitter is only $25, and it could save your hands and your face from a kickback.

I think that saw was recalled by Ryobi. I you find out let me know. I have one just like it.

at 1:30, imagine what might have happened if the saw binded in the work and was shot along the rail towards his midsection. Or if he had somehow slipped, and put a hand downward to catch himself. Not likely at all in this situation, but it only takes the once to ruin your life. For the other one, misplaced hands aside (same danger), that blade is not designed to be loaded perpendicularly. It could bend, bind or even snap if pushed too hard in that direction.

Hi mate, your cuts are not that unusual and with appropriate jigs could be made safer. 1) SPLINE JIG: With a framework at 45˚ angles, your piece could be placed inside the 90˚ hole, held with clamps and voila - chop to your heart’s content with the RAS shaft vertical. 2) HOLLOW PIECE: Again, a framework outside the wood will hold it and stop it moving. The base you probably have already used double-sided tape. With the workpiece held from moving where’s the danger? Gone. Cheers.

@thatspecialkindofstupid4600

3 жыл бұрын

Ah ya, a little sketchy but I'm definitely not the first person to do it.

Dangerous? yup, because you removed the blade guard. RAS with a guard vs a table saw (IMHO) the RAS is always safer. Reasoning, I always know where the blade is on a RAS, table saws on many cuts hide the blade or in times of error can hide the blade. Table saws cuts are always at the other side of an upward facing (usually unguarded ) blade, many then reach over the blade to obtain the result. (Cringe on how many good and crafty videos show this bend and reach) RAS cuts are on the other side of the locked covered, downward facing blade, (just exposed enough for the board to go under) or on the other side of the fence. RAS cutting should not lull you into poor habits of placing hands into a 'danger' zone.

There you go, using the radial arm saw exactly how it was designed to be used... with respect and the attention it demands. Surely, in this day and age where everything is designed to be used by morons, people will get in a snit because of this.

Dam, too late. Already been done. Aww yours was a sissy side cut. Mine was 6" off the table. But I wasn't holding the part either. I safer way to do this cut is a v jig and move the blade behind the fence and lock it in place with just you cut depth sticking out, then move the sled past the blade as the corner is catching the blade like if your using the saw as a shaper.

My issue with your video is that you imply that cutting on a radial arm saw is dangerous. What's dangerous is that 100% of the blade is exposed. At least put a blade guard on to reduce the exposure. You really need to be more careful. Accidents happen when the unexpected happens. You were pressing down on the cove cut on the table saw. What if the wood gave way? When you ran a piece over the jointer it wobbled. You really need to make sure your equipment is stable so it doesn't surprise you and you involuntarily move/slip into a cutter. You roll the dice long enough you will get bit.

The only thing stupid there is you dont have your blade guard on. The rest of it the saw was designed to do. You should really get some instructions on that saw.

The dumbest part is having the guard off the radial arm saw, that and calling it the wrong name.
