Everyone has paper cut on your digits at some point in life and so we do know that paper can hurt, albeit quiet superficially and certainly won’t warrant major medical attention. However, this particular video uploaded by YouTuber John Heisz AKA I Build It will let you see the power of paper in a whole new perspective. The video, entitled Can Paper Cut Wood?, John cuts a piece paper into a saw mill blade size and mounted it on a table saw mill. He then proceed to put it through the paces, first by slicing a piece of paper and a product packaging.
Spinning at speed, the paper saw mill blade just cut through the paper and the thin carton box like butter, and managed to do the same to a thin piece of wood, only coming to a halt when a thick block was pushed through. The toothless paper-made saw blade may have met its demise at hands of the thick wood block, turning into nothing more than a heap of crumpled waste paper half way through the cut, it nevertheless proved that paper, if wielded correctly, can indeed cause more harm than a thin slid on your fingers. So, the next time you pick up a piece of paper, give it its due respect. Go on, and see this epic paper versus wood clip below.
