I've received an email from Taunton about loose tenons.
Ye gods.
Now I'm a fan of loose tenons and have been long before the Domino came along, so I watched the video.
Lots of good theory, but the tablesaw discipline - I despair. No guard, no RK, long fence for ripping, reaching over a spinning blade. At least he touted the benefits of a ZCI and a rather inadequate push-stick.
I know it was filmed 12 years ago, but it is being promoted today. It is beginners who are drawn towards this stuff and they are presented with a barrage of unnecessarily risky practices, and, because it come from a venerable source such as FWW, they think it is the right way to do it.
It is not the right way guys, learn better practices before you pay the price of "Learning On The Job".
