That looks sssssssssssoooooooooo dangerous

@SquirrelFromGradLife Yup. A flywheel weight does wonders. So does a real motor. My old Dad's saw used a four cylinder International tractor motor, flywheel, and a table that let us cut up to 16 foot lodge pole pine. Dad mounted the whole thing on railroad iron skids so it could be skidded around in one piece. Ran on a big V-shaped drive belt. Wish I still had it.

These saws are not that bad. Yes more modern ones had better guarding but it you only ever stand on the table side of the blade while it is running then there is know more chance of injury that with any other saw.

You need a more powerful engine and a a shaper blade. Both would make your machine safer (preventing kick back from jamming) and also nicer to use.

@localcrew that one false move mentality keeps you on your toes, lol.

see the problem your running into is that the saw slows down because the torque of the engine and mass of the blade isn't sufficient to overcome the drag of the wood. To eliminate that problem and make your saw safer you need to modify the saw so the blade is connected to a fly wheel with a lot more mass than the blade and the engine powers the flywheel.

When the blade slows down lie that it creates a lot of tension in the blade which is dangerous over time.

I wouldn't call it certain death, but I have seen similar saws with decent safety guards that don't impede progress. I hate working with machines where I always have to keep thinking "One false move......"
