Hello All-
I am experiencing bad burning on oak while cutting on my tablesaw. I am using an Incra TIII fence and a Freud all-purpose blade.
In the pictures below, you can see that the side between the blade and the fence is burning real bad, but the side on the other side of the blade is coming out clean as a whistle.
My assumption is that my fence must be "pinching" the wood toward the blade, which is causing friction. And the reason the outside piece is fine is because it isn't piched against the fence. Is this correct? Or could it be that my blade isn't perpendicular with the table? I checked it with a square, but is is one of those cheapy $5.00 plastic squares, so I don't hold much confidence in it.
Any ideas here?
Thanks.
Brad
PS. Oh, ya. A tool gloat... I just got a Milwaukee 5625 3-1/2 HP router. It's the one with the built-in router lift. I've used it to make a few raised panels already and I love it! It's kind of an odd picture as I have it mounted upside down next to my tablesaw, but I knew I would need a picture for the Tool Gloat Picture Police.
