I made an invisible saw blade to see if it can cut through wood! Maybe the world will be a safer place with this invention. We tried plastic wrap, glass, and plexiglass to see which transparent material works best.

Are you or anyone you know going through a divorce? If so, I'm sorry to hear about it, but we'd love to help divide the assets.
Don’t steal our videos, if you’d like to use our video for something please contact us via email.
There's finally a maker channel that makes me feel like a genius.

William Osman may have a similar effect.
Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
@@MattIsTheCat You think, but the shit he actually makes is top tier. So it kind of fucks with you because the entire video you're like 'hah, how dumb!' but then at the end it somehow fucking magically works perfectly and you end up pissed. same with that weird little asian guy
This channel has always been that.
I like that the premise of this video is that "if people can see what they are doing they will get injured less" and he proceeds to make a frag grenade
Also forgetting that if what's cutting you is invisible, how would you know where _not_ to put your hand?
I love how you can see that these "sawblades" are more an equivalent to shovels than saws. It doesn't cut as much as it chips the wood and then flings out big chunks of wood at a time
Glorified watermill
That's more or less how all saws work though. Some are just better at cutting the fibers at the edges than others.
@@RyanEglitis Exactly correct. All saws use teeth, just most have edges, alignment, and other parameters that have been finely engineered to make then create clean, fast cuts with as little damage as possible. One that doesn't care as much are chain saws, because their use is rapid cutting in cases where clean cuts are less needed. They basically just cheese grater the wood on a thin strip.
Oh course! What better way to avoid touching something than by completely removing the ability to see it! Pure genius!
This video made History!!! While watching it, I said out loud to myself, "That is one tough piece of Balsa!" which is the first time that's ever been said in all of Human History! Well done, crew!
Bro boutta make his hand invisible too
I made 1/4 of my right thumb invisible and it is not very practical so I decided to keep my other 9-3/4 fingers visible for as long as possible 😬
I like how that box was made with a slot in it but it was backwards lol. Then they still use the box and just reach over it only exposing the arteries in his wrist. Genius I tell ya
i think the box is meant to sit entirely over the saw, in which case the slot would be the right way around, but yeah this is like the least safe safety method possible.
They used the box covering the entire saw in the old video around a year ago
pine is actually a softwood, and balsa is a hardwood. it turns out the definition isn't really about how hard the wood is, but about the way the fibers are laid out or something
Machinist here. There is a secret to cutting using hard tools. It's fixture rigidity. If you ran the same tests again with glass blades in a stiff slow moving rig it would cut.
Wrap the saw arbour in tape if loose, then use a layer of thick cardstock paper.
The idea of a glass blade scares me. I've been cut many more times by glass than I ever have been by all my power tools combined.
My man has developed a blast shield case for his chop saw...
Then proceeds to not use it while using the saw to test glass blades.
If you ever try the plastic wrap again you might try a t-shirt heat press. It has a controllable heat setting and will apply even heat and pressure. Just make sure you put in in between two sheets of parchment paper so you don't melt the wrap too the press.
Real sawblades have splayed teeth with sharpened edges. The splay of the teeth is wider than the rest of the blade. This both reduces friction and binding against the bare wood, but also helps clear the saw dust which causes a lot of friction and binding as well. It also exposes more cutting surface area which is the main advantage making for more efficient cuts. Perhaps by making a two half mold, one for a each side of a real sawblade, and heating a transparent material to malleability, and by using weight or a powered-press to compression mold the material into a more accurate sawblade, there might be better results.
Thanks mom!
Thanks mom!

Thanks mom!
The hole in the middle should be round so the bolt won't catch like its supposed to and create a point-load that will shatter the glass. Make the hole bigger and use a thick rubber o-ring to keep any glass from touching metal
You need to start a museum of stupid ideas. I'd visit. This one cracked me up, I even had to take cover on this side of my computer!
Answering the question: What if "I Made a Thing" were somehow less safe.
0:16 and that is half the reason why I was always taught in woodworking classes to use a block of wood to push things through saws. Also had a classmate stupidly using their leg to prop up some wood while cutting with a handheld circular saw. His quadricep became a mess on the floor.
Watched a kid in my high-school woodshop class grind off all 4 of his fingers in the wood jointer, tried putting too short of a piece through it
Thanks, Mom!

You should do an episode testing saw blades cut from different metals (lead, brass, tin, aluminum etc)
"Glass is glass and glass breaks" - Jerry
Two heated metal plates, one mounted to something solid somehow, one mounted to a car jack. Heat it up while you put pressure with the cat jack
I love the comically intense glass shattering sound during the slow-mo
Drill bits made specifically for glass/ceramic exist, my dude. Place some painters' tape on the drill site, and use whitening toothpaste as an abbrasive lubricant (oxymoron I know, but trust me).
I've drilled tempered glass a few times (glass pot lids, to make extra vent holes) submerged (the glass, not me 😅) under a few centimeters of water both with a 10 mm Bosch MultiConstruccion drill bit and with an specific 10 mm "arrow head" drill bit, applying a very very light pressure* and using a cheap *cordless drill to not get electrocuted* and to not damage my good or at least expensive cordless drill.
First I tried enlarging the factory made vent hole and broke two lids in a row, then I decided to try making new holes and drilled another five lids without breaking any more.
I use them for cooking and wash them in the dishwasher and so far they have lasted more than 10 years.
*So light that I spent about 40 minutes to drill each lid and the glass must be only 3 or 4 mm thick.
Yes I make bonsai pots out of everyday ceramics (bowls baking dishes etc)by simply adding a hole using a diamond core bit. Works every time .can take a while but it's worth it
1:14 all the case-pickers watching this thinking “welcome to logistics!”
You should try spraying the wood with water or coolant while cutting to keep the saw blade from melting as fast
Use a clear plastic body with glass teeth inserts.
or better, glass dust
thanks mom
Got to love how you can test on a softer wood then a harder wood and at the same time test on a hardwood then a softwood
low pressure pierce the glass or start cutting off of the plate and it won't shatter... as long as it isn't tempered, that stuff shatters no matter what.
Somehow, we still don't have a Resin Sawblade, despite several reinforced with resin
Scared of metal blade so creates an invisible blade that shatters into thousands of sharp pieces that fly everywhere, seems legit.
Now you understand why they make them from metal.
Solid helping of cancer from that plastic wrap
I Love my mom. she's awesome.
You don't need the flats in the arber hole if you're using rubber washers. You don't want the board under the wood so the wood stays against the fence between and doesn't move around.
I like how he just refuses to learn anything.
Keeps breaking glass blades because the wood shifts, refuses to clamp in correctly.
Thanks mom, I freakin' love you ❤ 👩
I enjoy all of Waterjet Channel videos
The ockham razor, when a solution bring more question than answers, it's probably not the right way 😅. For me, the first idea was it's last... the plexiglass
You use the variac to slowly ramp the blade up to MAX speed. Then you let the blade do the work, don't force the saw to cut.
You should cut uranium ore with the jet.
An idea for another video... Mix up some of the garnet abrasive into some resin and maybe without teeth like a cut off wheel
you should try a material called Aluminium oxynitride. Aluminium oxynitride is the hardest polycrystalline transparent ceramic available commercially
Thanks, Mom!
And thank you too for making videos that always make me happy!
Also, can you try a marble saw blade?
And, I can't remember. Did you already make one out of resin?
Great series. Absolutely terrifying.
Also use your riving knife!!
You can cut glass with scissors if it's underwater
waterjets being used on the waterjet channel??1?1!! Madness.
If you wanted to try a less clear version, I wonder how well different types of micarta would work
So interesting seeing the properties of glass demonstrated here.
you should try e-glass or nano glass that is specifically made to be tougher than steel, or metal infused glass, which is used in military and aerospace construction
Maybe use a laminated glass for the blade since the glass w/tape shows promise?
Thanks Mom!
Thanks Waterjet Mom!
You could try with layered transparent duct tape. Rotate the layers for strength
If you ever do saran wrap again, just cut right off the roll, it's already layered, it just may not be wide enough that's all. I would say it needs pressure after heating. so maybe a manual hydraulic press made with a car jack and some wood plates bolted into a frame or under something heavy. You could take a Dremel tool or belt sander and get a small edge on the teeth, it will help alot. Maybe serrated even. ATM you are using a chipping method, only really good for carbide tool bits.
I can attest that carbide/diamond tipped bits allow one to drill into glass, ceramic, enamel and all other interesting things.
Normal bits are at... considerable disadvantage here.
Saw blades have a hardened piece of steel soldered to each tooth and that is what actually cuts. This dude could glue 1 to each tooth of that plastic saw and get the same affect.
The slow motion is so satisfying!!!!!!!!!!
Diamond coring bit is what you need. Under water or with constant water flow . Slowly and little pressure. That's how to drill a hole in glass
Make your own janky version of bulletproof glass, the polycarbonate would keep it together and the glass would give it the sharpness. Would have to be thin sheets for both or it's not going on the saw. Could also make 3 and 5 ply versions.
You could just make the body of the blade out of plexiglass and keep the teeth in metal.
The genius of using Balsa, which is technically 'hardwood', and Pine, which is technically 'softwood'... Nice ironic in-joke there.
Really nice variac, but the heat is only expanding the air between the layers.
I've never seen SmallAnt and Waterjet Channel in the same room together. Just saying.
11:28 i am like 99% sure I know why you have that problem. You see in an actual saw blade the teeth are ever so slightly bend outwards alternating left and right. Due to that the cut they make is a bit wider then the blade and that is pretty important. Without that you get way too much friction, which is why it was so slow, and the blade likes to get stuck. Another problem is that actual saw tooth are sharp,, and I am not sure if yours are. You might want to file them a bit.
Love the effort you put in. A couple of suggestions, I think speed would help cut alot better, also if you baked the glass in a kiln or or furnace for pottery would greatly help aswell. Sweet videos
Glue on carbide tips. I would say the improved cutting surface will vastly improve the cutting lifespan, it also keeps 99% of the blade clear and still achieving the visual goal.
The reason your plastic wrap wasn't melting fast, is because air is an excellent insulator, and wrapping like you did was sure to trap a lot of little air bubbles.
Thanks, Mom!
Polycarbonate + Silica sand when?
add some silicon carbide grit inside your plastic wrap saw to make it scratch its way through the target
yessss more saw blades
Use mold release spray.
Well this seems needlessly dangerous
“Heh what the sigma”
I never SAW this SAW coming
dad joke, take my like
@notthatbad42 I thought you said take my life lol
@@DanTehBro #angrylike or #angrylife
If you cut the glass WHILE it is inside water it won't break. (You can also use scissors to cut it. )
Thanks Dan's Mom!
What happened to the old water jet guys?
Oh yeah invisible blades are way safer
another episode of highly acclaimed series, thanks mom
Thanks, Mom. Nice iron, clearly she wasn't going to let you borrow her tupperware
I ALWAYS WONDERED WHY THEY DON'T MAKE THE SAW BLADES FROM PLASTIC ! NOW I KNOW WHY ! THANKS WATERJET CHANNEL !
kinda feels like you could dope a sheet of plastic with sand or somethin else abrasive and make a sawblade that just grinds through it all rather than cutting based on that last one lol
"I'm not a wrapper" ~ Supa hot fire
You should install metal teeth on the plexi sawblade if the purpose is to just see through the blade
Thanks mom! Lol
Put your shirt back on your scaring the children hahaha
Next time you're running the glass blades let it get to your max speed before cutting and don't vary the speed as much. But also, clamp that wood down better so it can't move
I want more of these can _______ be used as a saw videos. They're fascinating
Also thanks mam!
He gave away the end results of the plexi glass mid video when he hadn’t even made it yet 😭 13:52
There's a lot of side friction. The teeth are supposed to be slightly wider than the rest of the blade for clearance
you should revisit some of the earlier videos now you have the phantom. the can of air vs the waterjet would be a good one.
The "Im not a (w)rapper" reference was excellent, but i doubt anyone remembers that legend
I broke up with my ex girl, here's her number
SIKE
THAT'S THE WRONG NUMBER

If you want to melt plastic without a bunch of equipment, the best way is a double-boiler. It ensures that it never gets hot enough to melt the plastic. If the meltinging point of what you want to melt is higher than water's boiling point, you can use mineral oil, which will take you up to 536 degrees F without letting it go above. Ive used this method before to melt a few plastics, including polyvinyl chloride, which is what plastic wrap is made of. Just be careful because when it turns completely liquid, it is hot and sticky like napalm.
And if you don't believe me, just check my username.
Drill glass under water from stoner me who made bongs as a child from empty liquor bottles
Thanks mrs. Waterjet channel's mom
Submerge the glass in water when cutting. You might get better results. I think i seen that somewhere 😄
a solid 10 seconds passed before i realised it was glass in the thumbnail
Heat the edge of the Lexan sawblade, melt some abrasive into it, and you might cut lead or even pottery...
