Saw this video a few weeks ago when I was looking at different spline jigs for inspiration for building my own.
At 1:08 this guy starts making a cut, realizes his blade is too low, brings the board back with the blade still spinning. Then, he raises the saw blade while the thing's still running, and then finishes the cut.
He replied soon after my comment saying that was holy-crap-unsafe saying if I had kickback doing that it must mean my fence isn't aligned. I just let it go because people can be stupid if they want. But then he just replied again suggesting a lesson on kickback is in order. Oh wow. Coming from the guy who runs wood backwards? Then watch what he does with his left hand during the whole cut.
It's funny that he's not using a riving knife or splitter giving his only stated reason for what causes kickback.
And of course, more gold, "as I am 56 and a professional woodworker with all my fingers it would appear I don't take unnecessary risks."
