Noisy blades and more dust and less chips are my rule of thumb. You get to know your machine.
For bad embedded grit a run over with a belt sander will knock the rocks off but may also leave some grit of its own.

I just took out one of the blades.... it looks less 'blunt' more 'rounded over'!
I guess it is lesson learnt! That pair of blades needs to go to the professional sharpener, the spare set will get me through the weekend.
Lots of washing, circular sawing, and hopefully some thicknessing over the weekend for me!
Thanks for all your help on this one.....

Update: I put 36 linear metres through on Saturday. Hard going, taking 3mm off with the table saw in 4 passes, then through the thicknesser. The Jet is running like a dream, taking the last 1 to 1.5mm off in one clean sweep.
Have definitely bitten off more than I can chew...... Now it's time to chew like hell!

Update: put another 35 lineal metres through this morning. New table saw blade (cheap 40 tooth Irwin) is working a treat. Thicknesser blades are starting to struggle a bit, maybe another 15 to 20 lineal metres in it, but I am picking up the sharpened blades during the week so that might get me through. Have done 120 lineal metres so far, roughly 80 more to go!

That's more like the mileage you should be getting. Glad you got a system sorted out
It's times like these where I can appreciate how spoiled I am with access to the toys at work
