I have done it with a quarter on my industrial SawStop. I thought I would
never get the quarter to stand on its own.

Try it with a dime. ;~)

I played around with my cabinet saw when I got it. Nickels and pennies were
no problem. Dimes and quarters did not fair as well but they are generally
tougher to stand up anyway. ;~)

when you get a saw to run that smooth - isn't it? Sometimes it's just
life's simple pleasures...
