Sparks from table saw.
Hey guys
Quick question
Just a one off but I had sparks fly when I cut some heavy timber recently. Does this ever happen to you? Normal?

Sounds like you hit a brad or screw in the wood

Not necessarily, some, especially stressed, trees will absorb more soluble silica during dry spells when the tree is stressed. This silica can precipitate out forming a small grain of sand inside the wood.
Seeing sparks while using a TS is especially common from timber/trees from dry country.

Good to know,
Definitely did not his any nails etc and it was not from the mechanical side of the saw. The wood was Tassy Pink Myrtle. Was resawing a rather thick piece for such a small saw.

Would it have anything to do with your other post about your blade coming loose?
