You might think the cord should be on the other side, but it is designed to act as a fuse.

    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.

    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.

    I would highly recommend a track saw instead, depending on use case. Fingers don't grow back.

    What is the use case to regrow a finger?

    You can make your own bootleg track saw out of a regular skilsaw and some scraps. Personally I haven't even bothered doing that, and just clamp a straight edge to whatever I'm cutting when I need to make a long straight cut. It's a lot slower and more fidgety than having a real track, but I rarely make cuts like that.

    I have one of these on my big "real" table saw as well, because the location of its power switch is deeply inconvenient.

    I can think of five reasons you shouldn't do this.

    Whoops now I can only think of 4.

    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.
