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.
The dust ejector would be pointed mostly into this bucket so the blood would too. Until you ran off waving your new stump around anyway.
Also because they don't tend to try to put the blood back in, even if you collected it neatly in a bucket.
Just wire up a pedal you need to actively step on to make it operational!
No that just goes in the botyomof the first one. With the sawdust for easy cleanup!
I would highly recommend a track saw instead, depending on use case. Fingers don't grow back.
Depending on use case. Fingers don't grow back.
What is the use case to regrow a finger?
Being able to flip off an alligator more than once
That's what you got 2 hands for. Ya dummy
I don't know, I'm kind of on a budget
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.
Just have your friend sit on the side of the bucket to stabilise it.
And some concrete in the base
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.
Thats why I have a 10 inch job site unit that folds up and stashes out of the way
Hello OHSAA! I would like to report a job site…..

I have one of these on my big "real" table saw as well, because the location of its power switch is deeply inconvenient.
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.
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.
You shitpost, but Norm Abram describes his father using a circular saw like this as an improvised table saw.
The bucket serves a dual function by also capturing the bloody mess when that is inevitably needed.
