AARRRGGGGHHHHH!
Hello everyone,
I have tried setting up my tablesaw to eliminate the blade swirl marks that I am getting. I have tried everything that I know of.
- Set an MJ splitter with to elimate the workpiece from touching the back of the blade by .000" to .004"
-Tried Dimar saw blade stiffener
-Tried using featherboard
-Tried adjusting my own technique
After everything I have tried I am still getting saw marks. They are very minimal but they are there.
I have used a ridge TS2000, Forrest WWII, Freud Glue line rip, and some thin kerf combo blades from freud.
It is just driving me nuts that I can't eliminate them but I am sure I'll get over it. One pass with a plane or a sander usually takes care of it anyway. It is just frustrating.
So How about the rest of you. How often do you have saw marks after making a rip cut.
I own a Delta hybrid saw which I like except for this problem. Maybe it is quite normal to get these, I don't know. What do you think? What are your experiences and expectations from your saw and blades.
Thanks in advance.
Kevin
