Part 3/6:
The speaker discusses an interesting idea to improve the process: modifying an old, small table saw with some sort of compound rush or movable fixture that can feed the material smoothly through the blade. Instead of manually pushing the work slowly, such a setup could use a hand wheel or sliding mechanism to control feed rate more precisely, making the process more efficient and safer.
They mention that although they haven't yet built a specialized attachment, they prefer doing it manually, cautiously. The intent is to develop a system that allows for easier and more controlled cuts, particularly for metals like brass and aluminum, which tend to be softer than steel but still require care during machining.
