I can think of five reasons you shouldn’t do this.
Whoops now I can only think of 4.

You might think the cord should be on the other side, but it is designed to act as a fuse.
dalekcaan@feddit.nl 1 day ago
Poor man’s sawstop: just wrap the cord around your hands while you’re cutting!

how do you turn it on
Emi@ani.social 1 day ago
You tape over the trigger and plug it in.

I have one of these on my big “real” table saw as well, because the location of its power switch is deeply inconvenient.
FinalRemix@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I use one of those for my shopvac and regular vacuum too. It’s just damn useful not having to constantly hit a tiny switch on the side. Just squeeze the pedal.

Show it your hardwoods.
GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 16 hours ago
you plug it in.
I remember going to work with my father. he was in construction and I was the bitch. “go get this” “go do that” kind of stuff.
one day one if the guys hands me a black cord and says to plug it in. so I do.
black cord was connected to a circular saw which had the guard and trigger ziptied open/on. it was laying on the floor and took off like a bat out of hell.
before I knew what the fuck was happening it was clear across the other side of the house and just zipped off the edge and unplugged itself.
the guys all stood around laughing, bent over even.
good times.

if they didn’t want it to be used like this, why is it bucket sized?
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I like to fill the bucket with water to cool the blade when cutting metal.

The bucket serves a dual function by also capturing the bloody mess when that is inevitably needed.
Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 1 day ago
Just screw the barrel to a 2’x4’ sheet of 3/4 plywood.

Put paint in the bucket and it’s a paint gun.

You shitpost, but Norm Abram describes his father using a circular saw like this as an improvised table saw.

norm is disgusted
blargh513@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
I cannot let the invasive thoughts win.
Tablesaws take up so much space and I only need one maybe 2-3 times a year. The bucketsaw is very tempting. Just needs some ratchet straps and quick clamps.

Don’t forget a second bucket for all the blood.
AnarchoEngineer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day ago
I don’t think the second bucket would be all that useful.
If the blade is cutting down into the wood like it’s supposed to, most likely the blood would go down into the primary bucket or go all the way around and start turn the walls and ceiling of the garage into a Jackson Pollock painting.

No that just goes in the botyomof the first one. With the sawdust for easy cleanup!
ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Just wire up a pedal you need to actively step on to make it operational!
salacious_coaster@infosec.pub 1 day ago
I would highly recommend a track saw instead, depending on use case. Fingers don’t grow back.

Thats why I have a 10 inch job site unit that folds up and stashes out of the way
AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Just have your friend sit on the side of the bucket to stabilise it.

socsa@piefed.social 1 day ago
A folding job site saw fits nicely into a closet. The nicer ones are very nearly "cabinet grade" as they say. There's also safer ways of doing this, though perhaps not more compact.
