Tension makes sense but I’m not sure how I screwed it up after 3 blade changes. I’ve had the saw for many many years and do it the same way I always do......but certainly a possibility.
The blade is a 1/2” 2-3 tpi Timberwolf Vari-PC. They actually recommended it for the 8/4 soft maple. Of course that could be wrong also. But I have used that blade before on the same saw, on tougher wood, and no issue.
