Hi all!
My BT3100 has a habbit of burning through wood about as much as cutting through it. I notice it most on longer rips. Yesterday and today i've been doing a lot of long rips on rough 4/4 red oak. And oak veneer ply. I rechecked all my alignment and don't see anything that is off. So I put the blade gaurd back on to see if the wood was crossing the blade in the back. . . Still burning.
Then I noticed something. On a long rip the board will move away from the back of the rip fence by about 3/8 of an inch!!!! How is this possible? I have the gaurd assembly on! I honestly am confused where that 3/8" is coming from, is the fence being somehow deflected over that far? I'm kinda lost on this one. Anyway, any ideas you guys can give me on what to check would be great. Here is a shot of some of the ply I cut and the burning:
