			== Green Wood ==

			There are multiple issues with wet wood and the issues vary depending upon the equipment being used.

			Table saw - The SawStop brake will trigger if you attempt to cut wet wood. There is a bypass for turning off the brake but for safety and liability reasons we don't allow the bypass to be used.

			Other cutting tools - depending on how green the wood, cutting wet wood throws off water. For the bandsaw, planer, jointer, this water is sucked into the internal portions of the tool where it can cause several problems. Rust is one of them, but they also tend to cause the sawdust to clump, which eventually hardens and can very difficult to remove. (We've had to use a chisel on a bandsaw wheel to remove hardened sawdust).

			Lathes - This is the most common use of green wood in the woodshop. The main issue is the mess it creates. It tends to throw water everywhere and it stains whatever it touches. One woodshop we know used to allow wet wood and the floors and wall turned black. They actually had to replace the floor and paint the wall because they could not get it clean enough.
