Ce que Pete Howlett pense du montage de dégrossissage du talon avec la scie circulaire montré plus haut...
Franchement, je ne suis pas loin de le penser aussi...
Ca va vite, très vite, de se faire bouffer un doigt, ou 2, ou un morceau de main.
Très vite...
This IS NOT a prime use for a table saw and IS dangerous. As soon as the crown guard and riving knife are removed on this machine, you have converted a safe tool into a finger chopper and missile launcher!
For the amateur and occasional woodwork machinist I can see so many things going wrong with this setup, particularly the working 'in air' aspect. If the billet was square it would at least be safer but even then a saw is meant to cut, not shape. If you really must use a table saw like this, fitting a suitable dado head with a series of stops used in conjunction with a purpose made sled would be safer.
My router setup set up carries a low risk of injury, creates profile symmetry and leaves you with your fingers intact and nowhere near a cutting edge.
All you who use this method - all the best! You are braver than me.
