Gray as it may be, that is where the great majority of us are. It seems Evaporust acted for someone in a way that is not sponsorship but was an act. I don't believe that member violated any rules, but there is a line there somewhere. Thanks Marc for stepping in even though it comes through as an annoyance. The world is changing.

That is correct, when the saw is off, as in blade is not in motion. But most of us know that pressure treated can be real dry on the oust side and still pretty damn wet on the inside. If I were to cut pressure treated on my SawStop ( I won't thought ) I think I would just power it down for that operation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Kinda straying from the topic but I have learned to keep a few pieces of pressure treated around the shop so it has plenty of time to dry out. Seems like sooner or later a project comes along that needs a few treated parts due to the possibility of moisture problems someday. I learned about a new class of treated. KDAT Kiln dried after treatment. It's a higher grade board to start with then it gets kiln dried after pressure treatment. It's pretty pricey stuff. I had to quote a job that specified using it for some exterior decorative brackets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve, is this becoming a regular lumber yard item or is it something that is special order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Only one yard in Atlanta stocked any and the size order for the quote was going to take a couple days to bring in from the wholesaler. So it's probably a special order in most places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole SawStop hot dog demo makes me laugh, first I don't keep a stash of Ball Park franks in the shop, but I would be more impressed if the guy doing the demo would just stick his finger in there. Have confidence in your product. I feel it is my civic duty to do this test personally. SawStop, you listening, PM me for my address. A lot of people said this in the first few years the saw was out and Dr. Gass took up the challenge to show that he trusted his own invention completely. http://www.businessinsider.com/steve-gass-sawstop-demonstration-2013-5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Noel Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Gloves are a bad idea for woodworking. Maybe out in the woods when you are gathering or chainsawing, even then I hardly ever wear gloves. Of course I have velcro hands to prove it. If my Unisaw ever went down I would hold a wake and buy another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea and they probably missed some Chicago mayors along the way. I can remember my government teacher in high school, think late 60's, saying this city or that state better be careful that they don't end up using Chicago politics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cygnus A Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 I've been working in and around machine shops for a long time. First rule around rotating equipment is to not wear anything that can get snagged and pull you in. Gloves around a spinning blade would be very dumb.

Brian Noel Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 It is unfortunate that we can't train every employee to have a fully functional brain. Some of them are very lucky though, when they turn fifty their brains will be like brand new, because they aren't using them now. The sawstop is an impressive piece of hardware to correct a failure in the software. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
