Today I took measurements every 4th tooth on the side of the tooth. this is not a new blade, but the issue is new. I have not taken any measurement from a different blade. I took the blade off the the 3rd time and inspected the stationary arbor washer with a magnifying glass and a flashlight. I did not see anything on the washer. With the magnifying glass and a flashlight I inspected the teeth on the blade. I did not see anything. I measured the score on the cut-offs. The scoring is .003"/.008". I put the blade back in the saw and made approx. 50 cuts on SYP 2 x 4 material. I had 5 cuts which made a scoring. With these results I concluded that my issue was user error only because I am perplexed. Leaving the blade in the saw, I made 8 cuts on 1-1/2" x 3" poplar. Two of the cuts left scoring. This time, it was only 1 score mark and not 3 like the pic show. Now I'm really confused. Christmas money is already spent and my birthday is months away. Looks like I may need to do my cross cutting with my $50 Ridged blade (until now, I only used this blade to cut pine matl) Danl I believe I fixed my problem. I had the blade sharpened for $9.00. The blade may of been damaged, but I did not see the damage. Danl Original crosscuts Crosscuts after having the blade regrind. Danl
February 28, 20197 yr Thanks Dan for coming back with the probable solution for your problem. Always great to have the feedback which might help someone else down the path. Pretty inexpensive fix in the scheme of it all. So...whatcha' doing with all the cut-offs? Noisy 'er Inquisitive minds want to know?

I’m attempting to fab a trestle kitchen table. I built a prototype from poplar & plywood. Production table will have a cherry base and maple top. Danl

Looking forward to see the project unfold. Your prototype isn't too shabby either as long as you keep the clamps tight.

Your prototype isn't too shabby either as long as you keep the clamps tight. The clamps were used so I could adjust the distance between the legs during the mock-up phase. The table top could only be 36" x 54" per customer specs. and had to be able to seat 6. It was difficult to see the leg spacing on paper (sketch-up). Danl
