I can't tell what exactly he used in the circular saw, but if it's a saw meant for cutting wood, you can only get away with cutting aluminum, not steel or anything else harder then aluminum. That's fine in this use case though. If you do have a wood cutting saw, you'll either want a blade for aluminum or a high tooth wood blade.

If they start using steel for their posts, you'll want to upgrade to a saw and saw blade meant for steel. They make carbide blades for hard metals.

"Unlike France, we're got going to give up our liberties for safety."

I hope he's being ironic with that one. The French are the first willing to burn things to the ground if the government starts encroaching on their rights.

You guys are silly.

Good knowledge for everyone to know. For no reason other than to share knowledge. Yes.

Isn't it just as effective to throw mud on the camera? That way if you get caught it's not really "vandalism" since you're not really damaging the device. Maybe not a get out of jail free card, but much easier for a lawyer to defend.
Hypothetically speaking, I would never ever do anything like this myself :)

There are so many issues with this video.

When using power tools, safety should be your number one concern.

1. Never use an angle grinder without the blade guard installed. Is it inconvenient at times? Sure. But you know what else is inconvenient? Trying not to bleed to death or being blinded over what should have been a quick and easy job.
2. Always wear the proper personal protective equipment (PPE). That includes a heavy long sleeve shirt, gloves, safety classes, a dust mask, and a hard hat (especially when cutting poles or other materials that are vertical and have a risk of falling).

You know, Gallium is pretty neat, does all sorts of fun stuff with Aluminum.

I will never understand why people take the guards off their grinders. When those discs go pop they're gonna fuck you up.

And do you really wanna get fucked up in service of fucking over a ~~Flock camera~~ random aluminium tube on a job site?

Regular cutting disks are made, at least in part, from aluminum oxide. The cut aluminum tends to bond to the disks, slowing them down, and making the disk slower.

There are specific aluminum cutting disks that don't clog, making the cut much faster.

Just saying.

Also, if using a reciprocating saw, keep the guard against the material, it's there to prevent the blade from jumping when it snags.

Interesting. This post was just below another post on my feed
