I cannot let the invasive thoughts win.
Tablesaws take up so much space and I only need one maybe 2-3 times a year. The bucketsaw is very tempting. Just needs some ratchet straps and quick clamps.

Don't forget a second bucket for all the blood.
I don’t think the second bucket would be all that useful.
If the blade is cutting down into the wood like it’s supposed to, most likely the blood would go down into the primary bucket or go all the way around and start turn the walls and ceiling of the garage into a Jackson Pollock painting.
The dust ejector would be pointed mostly into this bucket so the blood would too. Until you ran off waving your new stump around anyway.
So you wont have enough fingers to hold new bucket. Pointless.

Just wire up a pedal you need to actively step on to make it operational!

I would highly recommend a track saw instead, depending on use case. Fingers don't grow back.
Depending on use case. Fingers don't grow back.
What is the use case to regrow a finger?
Being able to flip off an alligator more than once
I don't know, I'm kind of on a budget
You can even sell your lost limbs for a bit of extra cash!
You can make your own bootleg track saw out of a regular skilsaw and some scraps. Personally I haven't even bothered doing that, and just clamp a straight edge to whatever I'm cutting when I need to make a long straight cut. It's a lot slower and more fidgety than having a real track, but I rarely make cuts like that.
And some concrete in the base
Or a kettle bell
Just have your friend sit on the side of the bucket to stabilise it.
Like grip between his/her knees?
A folding job site saw fits nicely into a closet. The nicer ones are very nearly "cabinet grade" as they say. There's also safer ways of doing this, though perhaps not more compact.
Thats why I have a 10 inch job site unit that folds up and stashes out of the way
You might think the cord should be on the other side, but it is designed to act as a fuse.
Poor man's sawstop: just wrap the cord around your hands while you're cutting!
Ah ,yes the texas table saw massacre
Poop bucket with auto-wipe.
Hello OHSAA! I would like to report a job site…..
"This number has been disconnected. Please hang up now and try again..."
*goes and checks on NIOSH in the other, eerily quiet room...*
Oh dear God, no...
I can think of five reasons you shouldn't do this.
Whoops now I can only think of 4.
how do you turn it on
You tape over the trigger and plug it in.

I have one of these on my big "real" table saw as well, because the location of its power switch is deeply inconvenient.
I use one of those for my shopvac and regular vacuum too. It's just damn useful not having to constantly hit a tiny switch on the side. Just squeeze the pedal.
also means it's not gonna keep going when you step away, always good to prevent machine independence
Show it your hardwoods.
you scream until the finger grows back

I like to fill the bucket with water to cool the blade when cutting metal.
As an EMT, we call this job security.
Put paint in the bucket and it's a paint gun.
Just screw the barrel to a 2'x4' sheet of 3/4 plywood.
You shitpost, but Norm Abram describes his father using a circular saw like this as an improvised table saw.
I hate my fingers too.
Mumbai mechanics
if they didn't want it to be used like this, why is it bucket sized?
norm is disgusted
The bucket serves a dual function by also capturing the bloody mess when that is inevitably needed.
