I agree with you 100%, Rich. It is brave of him to even attempt it, knowing what could happen. I would never attempt it, on purpose! I feel even he was shocked by what happened to the push pad. Although, a push stick, instead of a router table/jointer pad should have been used.Tom has really been beat up in the forums over that video. HOWEVER it is something that we all need to be aware of.

What is really weird is that in school, before we are allowed to use the table saw, a similar demo is done. The instructor causes the kick back but he uses a piece of Styrofoam.I agree with you 100%, Rich. It is brave of him to even attempt it, knowing what could happen.
