If a saw is rated for 13 amps at 120 volts, they would have to be lying by a factor over 2 to be below 1 HP.

sure you'll really have to be making some dust to load it that much, but you don't have to hold it, the wood is "squeezed" between the teeth and the base plate you only have to push it

If it actually delivered 1/4HP in use, I would be *shocked*. It's likely less than half that. If it were really delivering 2HP, it'd break your arm. It's a little universal motor, fer chrissakes.
Yes, and fingers are still made of skin and bone; much softer than even wood. Circular saws are very dangerous things when used by a someone with no respect for them. They are *not* designed for this sort of thing.
"Lasse, this is Sir Isaac." "Sir Isaac, this is Lasse." It *might* draw that much if you stall the rotor but it's going to be a real ride and it's not cutting anything.
Do you think my circular saw, rated 13 amps, dims the lights, warms the extension cord, has a 1/8 HP motor? It inertia-torques pretty hard when you pull the trigger. It slices through a 2x4 in under 2 seconds.
Sorry, can't believe it's 1/8 HP.

Not much different from cutting a 2x4. Sure, keep body parts away from the blade, in either case.

I'm sorry if you think you can hold onto a tool (or lift) a tool with a 2HP motor. Hint: Don't try this at home.
You're *wrong*. *PLEASE* leave the power tools to someone who knows how to use them. You're dangerous.

what force will give you that ride? the teeth push on under side of the wood the base plate on the top the saw isn't going anywhere

That would be a good way to clear a minefield, though. :)

Oh, good grief, you're dense. The same force that turning the blade, or not, in this case. If the saw is using 2HP (just frappin' silly by any standards), it's doing something. You're going to get a good chunk of that. Have you ever stalled a saw? No, you really are talking through your ass. Do yourself a favor and measure the current. You'll see that it's nowhere *close* to 16A.
That's the source termination resistor that drives the cable to a piezo transducer. The optimum value wasn't known, so we made it easy to replace in the field.
The piezo squirts molten tin droplets into space at around 50 KHz.

It's air cooled, all exposed, intermittent duty. It can do a HP or so, but not continuously. An enclosed induction motor, like on a bench saw, will be far more reliable in continuous use, and many times the mass, of an open construction series/brush motor. Very different animal.

I have all 10 of my fingers, which is more than a lot of professional woodworkers can say.

The branches were on the ground. Just cutting them into 3' pieces for bundling so the city would haul them off. I'm not getting up on a ladder with a cordless circular saw. ;-)
I don't have a gas chain saw (just an antique electric one without guards). The Hitachi version of a sawzall might have been better but I think the blade had gone walkabout.
Cordless drill: Great, especially when you have at least 2 batteries Cordless sawzall: okay Cordless circular saw: pretty much useless Flashlight attachement: Great because it sits up nicely when in the attic
The power tool that I really don't like using is the table saw. Much more so the slider radial arm saw, and way more than a lathe or mill. Apparently the first thing most folks do is remove that stupid thing that marks up wood and helps keep it from randomly flinging stuff toward you at high velocity (riving something?).

For the Festool one, the FSC, it's a permanent magnet motor with a full inverter drive. SO efficiency is high. That's what seperates Festool from the other manufactors of tools, all their cordless drill use permanent magnet motors.

a riving knife is required here, its a slitter that sits behind the blade so the wood can't pinch the blade, I don't see how it could mark the wood b ut it can get in the way if you want to do cut that are not all the way thr ough
I can see how something like this:
like all power tools it requires respect and attention to safety
