This STEAM;-) was electricity, wasn't it - but the machines (both) just fantastic! The young helper should not turn around the rotating blade, all safety measures to be checked and fixed whilst stop the cutting disk/pulley belt ! My grandpa was killed (massive bleed wound) in such circumstances...

never heard of that before, on this saw bench we just apply red deisel to the running blade to prevent the blade getting sticky in the wood and gumming up, and ofcourse a sharpen up in the morning and again at lunch time..

@zonkozonko Done a bit of circular sawing myself in the past on electric powered "ripsaws" cutting four to six inch oak. I used to swear by having a stick with a bundle of steel wool fastened to one end which I used to dip in bee's wax and apply to the Running blade. The oak cuts like butter with a sharped blade thats pushing by hand.

Well at least the circular saw has a full set of guards, more than some you see at these shows. A nice set up very good rack table.
