Re: Safer Saws

Most of the accidents and safety issues won't come from not being super-experienced with different types of saw blades (our team isn't), but instead because somebody tries to do something the fast way and does something silly.

It's really important to emphasize safety, especially when cutting metal on a chop saw. We had an adult hurt themselves (not badly) while cutting a piece of box tubing on a chop saw. To save time, he didn't bother replacing the blade missing a tooth. He amazingly made it through about 10 cuts before something went wrong.
