Can Wood Cut Wood? 

Can wood cut wood? *Adds resin* You know you need to make a pure resin sawblade now, right?

That mumbling bit was classic

Few things, - Paperback veneer is definitely not the best option for this, - Alternating the pieces at a shallower angle and 90 degrees is likely a better idea - You CAN run a sawstop without the brake cartridge, you just need to use the bypass - You should probably have MUCH more clamping force on the mold than you have been using - I think the wood blade might benefit from a more aggressive, lower TPI pattern with more support for each tooth

As a general rule, materials of the same hardness can cut each other under as long as they are sharpened enough and not so brittle to break under the required stresses to begin to cut the other material.

Interesting idea! If I ever need to start a fire by rubbing two pieces of wood together, I'll make a wooden saw blade.

That is some cutting edge technology

I like how the video unintentionally shows why carbon fiber (or really any) composites are so great. You can have a relatively weak fiber and a relatively weak matrix, but combine the two, and you have something with some incredibly strong mechanical properties. I’m assuming you are using epoxy resin, making this an epoxy-cellulose 0/90 laminate composite. I would recommend PFKK as a resin as it is generally better than epoxy but… well… it’s extremely hard to source and work with if you aren’t a professional within the composites industry.

This is the equivalent of using a welder to melt sheet metal apart. So rebellious. Love it.

"5 is a nice even number" 3:22 had to think about that one for a sec.

I would really like to see this done again but with two differences: 1. Mix the abrasive into some resin before putting it on the wood. 2. Put the abrasive resin mixture only where the blades would be so you can go thicker using less abrasive. 3. File the teeth so that they are actually sharp.

first video i have seen of him, the ideas are amazing and the humor is amazing!

I just started at Alcom, a hauling trailer company, and I recently learned that the saw bolt has to tighten by screwing to the left because if it was a regular "rightytighty leftyloosey" the blade would come flyin off the saw! The blade must be tightened opposite of the direction the blade spins.

In shock and awe at the capabilities of the wood saw blade

"5 is a nice even number"

i've learned a lot of things from your channel, and videos such as these, and one of those things are that anything can cut through a lot of different materials if it can spin fast enough

no idea why, most entertaining thing ive seen all day. lmao. Your commentary is legendary.

This video had the vibes of a standard woodworking channel so much that I didn't realize this was The WaterJet Channel til halfway through the video.

Wood definitely like to see you try this again, except with mixing the abrasive into the resin before coating the wood. Wood also be interesting to see a comparison between the silicon carbine and the garnet used in the waterjet.

What if you were water-cooling the wood blade? Lots of metal-cutting machines already include a spout that shoots milky water (water with lubricant) onto the cutting area, maybe you can fit the wood blade to one of those machines and see if it lets you cut much faster. I don't think the wood would get particularly wet because at the speed you're going the water will basically turn to steam at the cutting surfsce.

The fact that it actually _cuts_ is impressive on its own, no other torture tests needed and addons needed. But if you want this saw to be actually efficient, just mahogany and resin ain't gonna *CUT IT.* I know I am very funny.

0:22 I SAW what you did there...

you should have used epoxy mold release

this is single handedly made my day better! the first blade was the best. cut out of scissors. the level of care taken to enforce stupidity is brilliant.

That thumbnail to video transition was a thing of beauty

Has access to a waterjet capable of making unlimited metal saw blades...... makes a wooden one.

ngl it kinda stops being a wood sawblade when you fill it with literal diamonds

That casual shot of the flaming motor killed me

I think your style is funny and enjoyable. Stay true to your character and be unique. Don't change for anyone 💪🏻😎🤙🏻 That's why you have almost a million subs!

You are still definitely my favorite science channel.

I love so much that you guys lean into the annoying negative comments. Never change fellas.

Thanks for easting my time with this video.

The narrative sold it for me 😂 had to sub

“It’s a lot hotter when there are no teeth” -Waterjet Channel, 2023

"Hey girl I hear you like wood, so I used the wood to cut the wood, so you can wood while you wood." -This Guy

“I specifically chose … because it’s harder than most wood” (while cutting it with scissors)

Whenever I need a confidence boost, I watch this channel so I can feel better about my own craftmanship

4:04 “Oooo that turned out nice!” “Weiners:)👍” “Nooooo”

9:39 the dentist trying to clean my teeth

The polished pieces look cool, actually

That “I will destroy you..” was way funnier to me than it should have been

How that didn’t blow up is beyond me, great work

I really like the results of the cuts. Looks like some art coaster or resin table that would sell for big bucks.

Great vid bud💪🏻👍

You honestly deserve millions of subs based on the quality content you give.

Im somewhat surprised that first blade didn't cause a fire because to make a friction fire, you only need like a fraction of that rubbing speed (I assume).

10:19 "My dentists destroying that cavity in the back of my mouth".

That‘s probably the best advertisement for a saw I have ever Seen

3:45 You needed to use epoxy mold release

I miss Mitchell with his lick testing

This had me in stiches laughing at the bit where sparks were flying out the motor reminded me of photonicinduction especially the comment about torcturing the motor

That reflective black result looked awesome for sure

Hey, just a tip, you only needed that abrasive on the cutting part of the blade, for example, if you look at a tile cutting blade, with "diamonds" on it, it's basically got maybe 5, round blades, that simply have the abrasive on them.

Next video Can metal cut metal?

Came for the video tittle, stayed for the great tidbits of humor.

2:30 This is how they did start a fire back then.

I love how the wood blades basically do burnouts on the work piece while cutting.

8:56 "NOOOOOO ROOOT BEEER NOOOOOOOOO"

This is a certified wood classic.

The finish the second wood blade gave the wood after it was cut actually looked pretty cool

I don't know if this would help, but when making fiber composites we do a layering direction of 0, 45, 90, -45, 0 which is called a quasiisotropic laminat. If you decide to try this again you could maybe layer the wood differently to make it mor balanaced. Not sure how much it would increase strength tho.

What if you were able to coat the edges/ teeth of the saw blade so its not just the sides that have the mineral. Maybe it will give the teeth enough strength to actually survive against cutting.

1:20 I am SO glad you actually made that joke. I was hoping for it so bad the moment you mentioned the comments. XD

didn't even realize i was on the waterjet channel lol. noice vid

You should try this with verawood. It's several times harder and more dense than mahogany. It'd be interesting to see if the hardness factor also makes it too brittle to use as a cutting blade. I'd also suggest quebracho, but it's really expensive and I doubt you could find enough that you'd want to waste it on something like this.

i love how you basically made a literal angle grinder disc lol.

The "model" bit earned my like and sub instantly! Great stuff. :)

The mumbling was hilarious 🤣

Wow, it was really cool to see this, can you try it with the edges fined down?, like sharpened edges instead of those blocky ones, but for it to not snap easily you can put a lot of those fake diamond grains on it

10:08 by this logic wood tools should give you iron ore without deleting it if you mine it with a wooden tool

Nice. Thinking outside of the box with this content.

This guy is like the engineer version of Saxologic and I'm here for it

7:26 so the idea that you want to make a sawblade out of wood because it makes "infinity sawblades" is kind of out the window now isnt it?

We'll do five layers because five is a nice even number.. I really love this guy

Really nice polishing

LOL, the last part dude!

Because 5 is a nice even number 🤣

@Waterjet Channel you can turn off the sawstop safety by turning the key (Right side of the control box) for a few seconds until the LEDs start flashing, then start the saw while still holding the key. I run one for work and need to do that occasionally to cut wet wood or metal veneer plywood. Might still need the brake cartridge in place but you'll probably be able to run the table saw with the wood blade.

“can a minecraft wooden axe break a tree”

It's videos like this that make me feel smarter than others. Thanks.

"...And We're still smokin' here, That's another thing I have in common with this saw" 6:43

I like the delivery and editing of this channel reminds me of suckerpinch. I feel it has a similar vibe but instead of programming solutions nobody has ever asked for you make dangerous contraptions.

As a great man once said, “How much wood would wood wood wood if a wood would wood wood woods.” He passed away due to a stroke shortly after.

Brilliant way to make a sawblade out of wood. But as long as you took to make it, I'd wager it's more expensive than metal anyway.

this channel changed so much lol

This guy is giving off real appoint none of my energy and I'm here for it

I love that unnecessarily long intro to make the video longer.

5:50 ... I like the charcoal finish.

Reminds me of a project I once did that was basically the same concept but with a metal saw

I've not been around for a while, who is this man?!

Try coating it in flex seal it's heat resistant and should hold "rigidity"

I miss the old guys and the lick test. Bring back the lick test.

“People say I mumble too much” *speaks enchanting table*

It’s 9 am, I didn’t sleep yet, I have no idea how I ended up here but this is very entertaining. Man simple.

A better question would be: Can a Water jet show up on the Water jet channel?? I’m sure everyone wants to know the answer to that!

wood can cut wood i do it in minecraft all the time

“We’ll use 5 cause 5 is a nice even number” beautiful

1 million soon!

7:21 also not mined with the blood of some african child like a De Beers diamond

What happened to Dan and Mitch?

I like the polished burned wood look
