Finally broke down and bought a good finishing blade for the brazilian cherry I'm making the door frames out of.
I got the 40 tooth WW2 and actually read the directions that came with it, seems they like the blade up higher than I normally run, and this caused a fair amount of sawdust to shoot up off the back of the blade.
Reading further I see they mention fence alignment as being a possible cause, so I checked and did have a bit to much toe-out at the back of the fence.
Reduced it to the suggested amount and it got much better, if I go any futher I'll be losing some of the toe out that is reccomend to help keep binding down.
With the blade about a 1 to 1.5" above the wood, will I have some sawdust shooting up anyway?
Or should I try taking a bit more out of the toe out?
What's comng out now isn't a lot, but I end up wearing a bit of it and didn't have that with the blade lower.
