Hello Folks,
Although the question is about my blade I hope it is OK to post here as you guys are my only source of knowledge for my BT3100 and woodworking. As I have started to learn and use my table saw more, first thing I did is bought a brand new Diablo D1060X fine finish blade. My current project involves using 1/2 plywood.
Initially the blade cut so beautifully I was just blown away by the quality. I have so far cut through just 40 linear feet at the maximum and all of that is the 1/2 inch plywood - nothing else. Now today I see that I am getting quite a bit of tear outs (pictures attached). And this is on the top side as I believe tear outs are supposed to be on the bottom side.
My question is do I need to remove and clean up the blade now? And how often one is expected to clean the blade? Hope the blade life is not so short
Or is there anything else I need to look into?
Thanks a bunch in advance and again hope it is OK to ask this here.
