Crazy Saw!

Not sure if this video has ended up on the Forum in the past. 

This is a crazy portable saw.

I fear that terrible music was coming out of the saw  [eek]

If you notice there is a stop system. 

Its really neat how you can use the two side/sliding tables for ripping by simply changing the blade direction.

Its also a different idea to make compound miters by swiveling the blade and up-cutting.

I kno I mentioned the stop in my previous post but for one off or different length cuts a stop wouldn't work.

I agree the work piece stays square to the table and u turn the blade which requires a upwards cut to cut the wood which I thought was a mint feature at first.  

Like I said I first thought but like I already said about doing different length timbers etc

I see what your saying.  Although there is a mark for zero....not sure if it registers for the center of the blade or the left side of the blade. 

Those details don't bother me since one could easily mark/etch the table.  One could also add a zero clearance insert which would show the point of cut.

I think most users would be using this tool to increase production over a large circular saw or chain driven saw.  Therefore one would up-cut for for miters in a single batch and then set a stop to cut for length.

Up-cut saws are used in commercial cabinet shops in the USA for face frames and doors.  Often times they are used in conjunction with an electronic stop(tiger stop) and software.  Other shops us them to cut rough lengths in a quick, safe, and efficient manner.  Its really the best way to avoid additional tasks since it maintains a production line system.

Interesting idea but I prefer something more portable, preferably with a 60 degree tilt. Maybe with an 85mm cutting depth...

That's a pretty neat idea!  It looks like it handles sheet goods pretty easily.

Looks like a combination  table/miter/jump saw.
I don't see it as a "portable" saw.  Looks heavy!!  Maybe for a small shop that doesn't have much room for multiple stationary saws.
