The cold weather is starting to get to me and I want to do more than just tumble. Has anyone tried using their WF in a deep laundry tub?
I was thinking it would help contain the water spray, or does it spray too much for that?
I also have a hose hooked up to the laundry tub faucet, so I could slowly replenish the water as the saw sprays it out.
The only other concern would be mud going down the drain. I have no idea how much mud these saws create. Thoughts?
Thanks! Chuck

I know people have used it in the bathtub and a mop sink. I don't know how well that turned out for them, but they did do it!

I wouldn't. Lots of mud to clog the drain, and ...well...see the thread "Saw Shocker". We've about beat this one to death. Working on a concrete basement floor with a drain might be okay, with a spatter shiled constructed as in the lics which (I think) are in that thread. Arched plexiglas to catch the spray. Put it in a childs wading pool if you want to catch runoff, but use the waterr tray. It's just safer than putting an unshielded electric motor into a tank of water. there is a barier betyween the blde and motor, but the underside isn't shielded and it would be real easy to overfill the sink/tub The slightest slosh and ZAP. Make sure you're on A GFI circuit.

Thanks, Mark!
Sorry, I wasn't clear; I didn't intend to set it in water in the tub. I would use the water tray and have the hose provide make-up water.
It sounds like the bigger issues are the spray and mud, as I suspected.

I did ths w/o problem, but the 2" line for my utility sink went right onto my 4" main sewer line.
Most of the mud and sediment got trapped inthe WF tray. I took it outside and hosed it into the grass when I was done.
