Summary:
This video is about table saw safety and how to use a table saw safely.
In the video, Tommy Silva, from This Old House, demonstrates how dangerous a table saw can be and how important it is to use safety features. He removes the riving knife and shows how the blade can kick back and throw the wood right back at you. He also shows how the blade can grab your hand and pull you into it.
Tommy then goes over the safety features on a new table saw, including the riving knife, blade guard, and flesh-sensing technology. He demonstrates how the flesh-sensing technology works by running a hot dog through the saw. The blade stops immediately when it comes into contact with the hot dog.
Tommy concludes the video by saying that table saw injuries have dropped precipitously because of these new safety features. He encourages viewers to check out his other videos for more home improvement tips.
