Yes, I've slowed it down to about 108sfpm, based on counting the mark on the blade

I all ways enjoy reading benmychree recommendations it is always spot on with some common sense thrown in.

Thanks for all the help, I look forward to getting the new blade and seeing if the speed adjustment helps

Also check to make sure you have at least 3 teeth cutting, if stock is too thin it will result in stripped teeth

Lately I've been cutting 3/4 and 1" steel plate drops into rectangles for mill projects.

I've read that you can cut too slow as well, causing premature blade wear
