That sucks. You must need to buy more tools.I was building a frame for an air filter, so that I could put it in my window as an intake filter for when I start spray painting my DIY speakers. I needed to cut the frame pieces at an angle, so I started adjusting my table saw blade. It got difficult to angle the blade after ~15 degrees and I stupidly thought, "Eh, I'll just keep going. The gears probably have wood dust in them" and then I heard a crack.
I forgot that I had my zero-clearance insert in there, and I ended up cracking the insert and bending the blade. The insert is fine, but I had to buy a new blade. That was a dumb $100 mistake.

I don't see a problem. Standard porn opening.I have a dozen teenage girls having a water fight in my garden while I'm trying to light a BBQ.
I have discovered that there is no way to ask teenagers not to squirt you in a way that results in you not being squirted!
It's more like Lord of the Flies to be fucking honest! 😖I don't see a problem. Standard porn opening.
Auto stop. Gotta save them fingers. Mine's a 1950 craftsman. Not perfect but I only paid $100. Same for the drill press.Yeah, my 2 year old $2k table saw is probably ruined so I should replace it with another one...
Well I've just sat them around a firepit and left them to it so I may have some feedback from parents later!This just in! WelshBloke's head is on a pike!
It's a learning opportunity!

It's good to have 3 table saws and 3 mitre saws. One set to 90, one set to 45, and one that you set to any other angle you need as you need it. That way the 90 and 45 which are the most common angles are always fixed and calibrated well and you don't play with that setting on them.
You also need a bigger shop at that point.
As long as they don't ask you how dairy farmers get the cows onto their condo elevators you are ok.Well I've just sat them around a firepit and left them to it so I may have some feedback from parents later!
Several of them have said that they've never seen a real fire before and most of them haven't looked after one!
I told them that it's time to learn!
I feel your pain. My wife and I were discussing the awfulness of popcorn ceilings and I recalled my dad always adding sand to interior paint to create a textured surface. His intent was to soften shadows. My wife had never heard of people adding sand to paint. Growing up, it just was so I didn't really think about it. I decided to see if it was a common practice and it is common enough that Homeowner Hell sells paint appropriate sand. In digging further, I came across post after post warning people that sand CONTAINS SILICA! and was therefore super dangerous. In my line of work, I routinely meet people with silicosis. None of them got it from sand (except for the folks using sandblasters and even there, other media tends to be used more than sand).I bought a plastic sled from amazon, and you sometimes get referred questions from people on stuff you buy. I usually try to answer, especially when it's a good question and/or easy to do. Somebody wanted to know what the inside dimension was, so I went out and measured it. Good question!
After answering, I got a bonus question from I'm assuming someone else. "Tested for microplastics?" Why are people so fucking stupid?! Why would anyone test a 100% plastic sled for microplastic?? Aside from the fact it's macroplastic and will turn into microplastic as it gets used, I'm sure there's a non zero amount of microplastic debris from manufacture. I fucking hate people. They ruin the planet...
How many cigarettes are you smoking in this picture?View attachment 101723
