Hey old buddy and welcome back. I am of firm belief that your BS blade problems stem from the blades you are using. You should be able to torque it pretty taunt and cut far more than 100 pen blanks without the problems you have been having.

Good blades are well worth the little extra up front. If you a link for some of the better lines, let us know and I'll dig them up for you. Also, I cut my blanks with a 6tpi 3/4 blade and have no problems.

Hey... enjoy your last day in paradise.
