Was he also the guy who desgined the "death by unicorn" log splitter that hooked up to a vechile drive wheel with car jacked up off ground. Now I must admit I am an idiot who will at times cut lenghty splits with a small 10" electric chain saw in one hand and bracing the split off the side of my porch with the other hand. Wonder what the Product Safety commission would say about the sale of such an item.

Oh my gosh.

He says he still has all his fingers, he just doesn't specify if they are in jars in the kitchen or on the ends of his hands :gulp:

 

[sgcsalsero]

yeeeikkes. . that last post reminded me of a 'grizzly' scene from the Hitcher . . .

 

[babalu87]

Yeeeesh, I think this guy needs to be included with the purchase

 

[Shane]

I'd test it. :coolsmirk:

 

[wahoowad]

I asked the guy if he would demo it for me. I'll make a video if he does.

James Bond: Do you expect me to talk?
Auric Goldfinger: No, Mr. Bond. I expect you to die.

Hi -

Hey! I put a lot of wood away with one of those as a kid 30 years ago. The blade had a gaurd on the backside. There's a table on the front that rocks the 4-8' logs on to the blade. The were used to cut the smaller logs left behind from commercial logging, treetops, branches, and the like. It was fast and I don't recall any safety issues. I'd spend some time looking at an un-monkeyed version to get the gaurd correct.

When I was a kid I thought everyone had at least one buzz saw usually home designed and built. This one actually uses some factory built parts.
A buzz saw is really a lot faster and easier to use for cutting up a lot of pole wood, and getting pole wood out of the woods is faster then blocking it up in the woods.

More guards would make it more inherently safe but the real secret is to not touch the sharp spinning part, or Darwin wins.

Man, I wouldn't want to be running one of those saws when it hits a hidden rock in a crotch of wood or a nail spike.

Results are the same as for a chain saw, dull or ruined blade.

Actually with a chain saw something like a nail can be pulled out of the wood or cut off and propelled by the chain at high speed. Guess where it will be aimed, it is hard to keep your body or at least your right leg out of the line of the blade all the time when cutting.
With the buzz saw you CAN stay off to the side out of the plane of the spinning blade and the nail will likely be directed into the ground.

A buzz saw can be used safely but like any power equipment it can be used in an unsafe manner if you want. If so people were to calculate the amount of energy stored in a propane tank they would not have one sitting along side their house. I have seen two tanks, 500 gal. that were over filled and vented the next hot sunny day. The gas never ignited but there was a definite pucker factor when the events was noticed.

A buzz saw CAN be used safely, and often is, but it is still the second most dangerous power tool (table saws are responsible for more lost fingers than any other saw ). It only makes sense to operate it in the safest way possible.

that means putting a guard / stop in front of the saw blade. Most commercial saws of this kind have them.
