Just an FYI. Try not to pull your work back through the blade after running a piece of wood forward through the table saw. That is how and when KICKBACK occurs. Same with a hand held circular saw.

I watched a guy try and pull a piece of wood backwards on a table saw. He wanted a certain cut. He told me, never do this. Well, he also showed me why. The wood shot past him and into the wall. I'm sure he thought he could get away with it if he was very careful. It missed his gut. I made it years without a kickback until last year. It was on a not so nice tablesaw.

Hello from England,what a cracking video on cutting angles on whirligig hub.I don't have long enough arbor on my saw for dado stack, but your idea with the mitre guage works fine on my router table.

Diode laser cutters are cheap now. I can cut a hub with variable pitch blades in a few minutes... without buying expensive tools and risking serious injuries fiddling around. I'm an old school modeler and I know the ropes; It has been a game changer for me- and tons of how-to's and resources on KZitem make it simple to learn. Overall these machines are "oh, so useful" for all of these builds and more. I still incorporate standard basic tool-ware, but lasers are the future if you want repeatable production. They're also useful for quick prototypes for testing, design and development of ideas. I love using- mine and the price is unbeatable for what you get.

There are set ups to make accurate angles with a band saw, a router and a hand saw. It's best to set up some sort of a guide so that all the slots are the same angle. Other than that you can use a hand saw and draw some accurate lines to follow while cutting. Best of luck with your whirligigs ! Try this kzitem.info/news/bejne/lHhpl5ehkqlnrJw

I make props with wood dowels. I cut the dowel in half along it's length so you have a flat surface to glue to the blade but leave a half inch of it round. So then just drill holes in the hub and install your blades and Guage for pitch.

These propeller blades are approximately 3/16-inch thick. They will vary from .187 to .202 during the cutting process. For just one or two propellers I used to simply run the hub through twice. However I found an inexpensive "wobble" type dado blade for about $20 bucks and when set to it's thinnest setting it cuts 3/16-inch slots.

I noticed you were worried about having eye protection! But the throat place is missing during your cut! Not safe at all!! Another unsafe method using bolts. As you said you don’t want to make contact with the metal. For all the woodworkers that own Saw Stop table saws if you use the bolt method bypass your brake! Otherwise you may activate the brake. I would also suggest to anyone using a cheap blade. The main issue is still no throat plate. Let’s say something came loose and went into the spinning blade? It will become a projectile causing possible damage to yourself or others. Simple solution make a sacrificial throat plate out of plywood! In the video you use a wrench to tighten down the nut. Have you tried a wing nut? Another thought have you tried using a bandsaw to make the angle cuts? Yes it takes longer to make a wide enough slot. But woodworking is not a race! We find things that are quicker, but not for the cost of safety. I want to say if anyone can do whatever they want in their shop. I just wanted to point out some safety issues and possible future issues

My blades are 3/16", You can use a dado blade set, they can be expensive, A wobble type dado blade is available from Oldham that adjusts down to 3/16". Find them on eBay or flea markets for about $20.00. I use this blade on my older saw that has a longer blade spindle. Newer saws from Lowes or Harbor freight don't have enough thread on the spindle to fit the Oldham dado blade.
@gwheyduke

One work around I have used is to create my own dado stack with two Harbor Freight thin cut construction blades (pretty cheap) and fix them on the saw spindle with two 4-inch discs of cereal box cardboard in-between the blades. I adjust the number of spacers to fit blade thickness. This will leave a small ridge down the middle of the slot but if you carefully bend on or two teeth one blade to overlap the other blade it will minimize the ridge. Just the way I do it, don't try this at home😳
