In Response To: Re: Scafing jig WARNING (Clayton Plunkett)

: Yesterday I was scarfing a paddle shaft to make a feathered shaft per Nike's
: book. When I went back and read that section again he instructed to pull
: the shaft through from the back of the saw. I can see how if the cut off
: wedge were to be launched it would fly away from the operator.

Maybe I am not understanding this? But if your talking about pulling wood into a table saw blade from the back of the blade to the front that sounds extremely dangerous. Matter of fact my F-I-L tried that a while back and tore up a finger when it grabbed and pulled the part into the dado blade along with his finger too.

Also since the blade is turning upward at the back and it is going to try to lift the part off the table instead of pushing it down. Then if/when it lifts the part, the blade grabs it and throws it at you like happened to me.

Again, maybe I am misunderstanding you. But if not then that is a really bad idea and would high recommend not doing that cut that way.
