Glossary of Terms

I was looking through the manual for my Ridgid table saw, and I came across the Glossary of Terms. "Hertz" - It could have been: "How it feels when you run your finger through the blade."

This is not a good idea. I’m sure your response will be as loud as others in the past!

I was a finish carpenter for almost fifteen years, so
Been there, done that! lost the last distal phalange on my left ring finger.
now I can say:
I'm not as handy as I used to be.
I can request a 10% discount on manicures.
and can claim membership in Quitters inc. (reference to Steven King short story)

I’m sorry you had an argument with your table saw. One of the many things we do at my hospital is replantation of fingers because of these dangerous beasts. I wish more people knew about SawStop (R).

WHAT?? All it is is the frequency component of a signal (sound, color of light, type of [nuclear] emission, etc.).

the better definition is the "number of cycles per second" the audible sound is lower as is a table saw and inaudible is like radar.

In the "Table saw" they are warning younthat the sound can hurt your hearing.

I'd call that "mega-hurts!"

Yes the Sawstop has saved countless fingers no matter what the technology is, and yes the loud sound of a saw is damaging to ears, but it's cumulative (a little today, a little yesterday, a little tomorrow, etc) not like the instant and immediate zing of a saw against a finger! That's why I had all my students wear sound attenuators when I was teaching in a wood shop. I'm 70 and I wear hearing aids everyday.
