    Fell down the You Tube rabbit hole tonight and came across another one of these crazy homemade splitter videos. Some of these are down right scary. :zip:

    Is that buZZsaw BRAD around the 5 minute mark? ;)

    Some of those look pretty scary, others seem pretty fast and efficient without being to dangerous.
    Get rid of some government oversight and a handful of lawyers and we could probably have more productive equipment

    Yep, it appeared that the whole video was was sped up quite a bit. On some it wasn’t as obvious, but on ones with any dialogue, it was very apparent that it was sped up

    I'd rather not try working fast around machinery. Better to slow down a bit and not get hurt.
