Maybe you will stop fear or your 10" saw after watching this

Yea …. I don’t believe that facility is OSHA compliant :)

This must be the liberal sect. Electricity is a seductive mistress. I wonder where the Sawstop brake goes?

gives new meaning to the phrase “Go big or stay home.”

I can just see Evil Villain Snidely Whiplash using this mill.

Awesome link thanks Carloz!

It looks like they use a rail road cart for a sliding table, gotta love it.

It does have a splitter though

Used to cut firewood with a blade that size, run off a tractor PTO. Tablesaws are like toys in comparison.

That’s pretty cool! The big dude make the adjustments doesn’t look like anyone to mess with!

Although a big saw blade like that one is intimidating, I didn’t see where any great potentially dangerous situation existed. The workers were well distant from the blade and I didn’t see any fool hardy manoeuvers. I’ve worked around very dangerous machines and never felt I didn’t belong. You have to know and understand your environment and respect it. It is a military mentality where you go into harms way and know if you screw up, it can cost you dearly.

Those big blades literally scream a reminder at you to be careful. I ran a fire wood processor a few years ago with a 6 foot blade spinning within arms reach. You quickly learn to calculate every move and stay well clear.

Imagine a kickback from a saw like that!!

Great video. Love to watch saw mills in action .
A blade is a blade and no match for skin no matter how big….or small.
I’ll spare you the sight of what a 10” did to my hand a couple years ago. Lets just say they put my left pinky back on so I could hit the tab button on my keyboard. That’s all it’s good for. Can’t even pick my nose with it.

-- A positive attitude will take you much further than positive thinking ever will.

Great video. The guys in it are not hobbyists. ..... and they are at no particular risk because they know what they are doing.
I expected to look at this thread and see a nothing but comments about how unsafe it was but I’m pleased to see that there are at least a few who see it for what it is …. people doing their jobs in a sane careful manner.

If you want scary, go look at some shingle cutting mills..
I remember one that was posted a while back, scary as hell.
