Close call of the day.

110V can melt the teeth of a saw blade? At just a touch? are you sure thats not a big embellishment?

I've seen 220V go through some pretty flimsy wires and nothing is melting.

This, weird. Must've been a ton of amp going through.

Why are folks wondering if 110V can melt a saw blade? It's not the voltage that's doing the melting, but the current. 12V can melt a saw blade. Ever seen a car battery melt a wrench?

Mig Welders run around 17-28 volts, I believe. They melt things very well.

I tend to agree, the power outlet the saw was connected to and maybe the circuit breaker on it, were defective.

i once ran speaker wires un-isolated out from the inside of a TV to connect to my computer sound card input. Connector touched the back of the sound card ZAAAAAAP, spot welded a mark on the steel. I ended up rethinking my setup after that.

wait you did what?
