With good clear white pine you shouldn't get that much burning. I have never had burning during miter cuts on pine. Are you using more than 3/4 stock, is it a carbide blade with the proper tooth count, at least 36 -40 teeth? Saw underpowered? Just don't sound right to me with good clear white pine. If it is southern pine then that stuff is good and hard and full of pitch and resin.

Birch, it sounds like your saw is very capable. My guess is that a faster cutting blade such as a 40-50 tooth vs a 80-100 tooth fine cut blade would solve the problem with the right feed pressure. If you only get it on 45's etc. and not when ripping or cross cutting... I wouldn't worry about it bud!

Glad you got it figured out!
