Summary:
The video talks about 12 worst table saw mistakes and how to avoid them. Here are the 12 mistakes:
Twisting the board: This is dangerous because it can cause the blade to bind and throw the board back towards the operator.
Cutting freehand: This is dangerous because it is difficult to control the board and it can easily twist.
Squeezing the cut: This can also cause the blade to bind and is more likely to happen when using a fence.
Ripping boards wider than they are long: This is dangerous because the board is not stable and can easily twist or bind.
Levering: This happens when you fail to keep the board flat on the table saw while making your cut. It can cause the blade to bind and kick back.
Failure to catch the outfeed: This can cause the board to lever up and pull you towards the blade.
Pulling small pieces from the back: This is dangerous because your hand can get pulled into the blade.
Drop cutting: This is dangerous because it is difficult to control the board and it can easily get caught on the blade.
Reaching over the saw: This is dangerous because you could lose your balance and fall into the blade.
Ripping narrow widths: This is dangerous because the push stick may not have room to get through and your hand could get close to the blade.
Standing directly behind your stock: This is dangerous because if the board gets ejected, it will go straight towards you.
Setting your blade too high: This exposes more teeth than necessary and increases the risk of a mistake.
The video also includes some bonus tips, such as using a push stick and keeping your hands away from the blade.
