What is the point of this ,unless you show it cutting 4" planks?

wow, what a dumbass !! you don’t ever put the blade that high for a small piece !!
shreddder999on July 1, 2022 at 9:54 pm
My only concern is that a circular saw doesn’t have the power for a 12" blade.

When you think of thous (thousands of an inch), how do you visualize that or relate to that measurement? I’m a meterlander myself.

Glad you’re alright there buddy.

Might should have used a 14 inch metal/masonry chop saw. And you can get one cheap. I put a wood blade on one once to cut 2x’s when that was the only thing i could find in the warehouse I was working in. Worked great. Nobody knew where that blade came from. We worked with very little wood.

I don’t care if you have a free bbq and a case of beer for me. My limbs aint going no where close to that monster.

Your "MAD MAN" but gotta give it to you. I’ve done some dumbshit like this also, and yes I still have all 10 fingers. Do what you gotta do to get the job done. But staying safe and knowing how far to push your limits is a good thing…. or bad things could happen. Stay 10.

First, it’s not rigidly built. Flimsy wood frame construction will result in poor quality cut because of vibration. Second, the motor is underpowered if cutting hard wood. Third, the washer that holds the blade is too small and thin. For the blade that size, a washer with a diameter of 3 or more inches and with the thickness of at least 1/8 is needed to stabilize the blade from wobbling. These are major problems to be solved to get a better machine. But most of all, nice try and there is nothing wrong with the idea!

For all the work and expense that went into building this, you probably could have done those giant finger joints by hand! However, I do admire your persistence!

With a huge blade like that, I’d consider a longer push stick. 🙂
Based on my bad luck with ‘F’ (F**k) clamps coming loose with any vibration, I’d also be concerned it would jump free of its mounts and try to cut my legs off.

You could make a top table on a hinge on top off that table for depth!

Does that 7 1/4" circular saw have the torque to spin a 12" inch blade? I’ve been seriously considering building a 12 inch myself. I’ve always been frustrated that nobody makes a low cost table saw bigger than 10 inch. I guess of you keep your feed rate light you could get away with it.
Ali Hassanon July 1, 2022 at 10:26 pm
The RPM has increased far to much to keep it "safe", you should have used a metal cutting chop saw instead of the Skill saw. Would have been a lot cheaper and easier build! Anyway, still enjoyed the video.

Have you incorporated that saw into a box or something. Looking forward to hearing from you after 4 years. Pls share your images if you have any. Thanks.

Great job, still afraid for your safety, thanks for sharing

I’ll be damned if I would ever fasten it down with flimsy plywood. Just asking for trouble
MrCougar214on July 1, 2022 at 10:32 pm
Hey look at that, it worked. And you didn’t cut your fingers off so I guess that’s a plus huh?…..lol
Build a simple 12 inch table saw with a cheap circular saw and a some plywood scraps
could it take a dado stack ?!
dangerous 🙂

How much that saw costs? You can buy Ryobi 10in table saw for less than $200.00 and you don’t have to do anything.
Too dangerous, give up my friend.
WTF.
HAHAHA your an idiot, any chance you can upload the video where it all falls apart and rips your hands off?
