I've been kicking this can down the road for years, but I finally got a job that involves cutting so much melamine board there's no way I'm doing it with a circular saw.

I watched multiple safety videos before even opening the package, and now I'm just sitting here staring at it wondering whether I should fire it up and cut off a finger or two. I'm fucking terrified of this thing.

Last time I had access to a table saw, I made a bow, for shooting arrows. It's the best way to get the thin laminate layers, then I just soaked, clamped, and bent them around a jig. So much fun.

So my advice is: Always be aware of the cord. I tripped over it once and almost fell into the still-powered saw.
