I have posted about this before and I may have found a solution. Tell me what you think (even if it's bad). LOL After posting about this last time I tuned my TS to the best of my ability. Yeah I know that may not be good enough. :surprise: The blade is square to the table, and square to the mitre slot, and the fence with the fence having a plus 5 th. on the outfeed. I am using a Freud Premier Fusion full kerf blade. After doing all of this I still got burning so I decided to you my Freud full kerf ripping blade. If I don't mess up feeding I don't get burning. I hate having to switch blades but I hate getting burning off worse.

What are you cutting? How thick?
If you are satisfied with the fence, blade alignment and feed rate, that only leaves the blade. In my experience, the Tenryu 24 tooth full kerf rip blade will give you a much better cut than any red blade. Actually, almost any other decent rip blade (Amana, Forrest WWII, Infinity, Carbide Processor s, etc) will far out perform those crappy red blades.

Gene I use the good Freud blades not the one you buy at Home Depot. I am cutting 3/4" and less in wood like oak, hard and soft maple, ash, and walnut.

Do you have any pictures, tips, or words of wisdom for using one?

I am kinda interested in this myself. :surprise:

I really like a full kerf blade but I do have a thin kerf blade in good condition so I will try that tomorrow.

I think a thin kerf in a miter saw isn't a good idea. I am glad you got your problem solved. :smile:
