I've been ripping 6-8" 4/4 maple (hard) boards inte 3/4" wide strips. These are to edge plywood. I'm using a fairly new Freud "Guld Line" non-thin kerf rip blade and not feeding the stock either too slow or fast.
What I'm seeing are burn marks on the off cut piece and nothing on the lremaining stock. The off cuts are on the left (free side) of the blade.
Am I doing something wrong? Does the fence need to be adjusted, Is the blade trashed?
This is the first time working with hard maple so I really don't know what to expect. The burn marks are surface marks only and sand out easily, should I get concerned or is it my paranoid nature to feel I'm doing something wrong?
