I had only reading the post on a loud bang a few days earlier when i nearly had one of my own.

I was cutting up some Qld maple when I noticed something was amiss with the blade seeming to be acting strangely.
So i stopped the machine and rotated the blade by hand and it was tracking off the bottom wheel.But then i noticed a crack in the blade
about 2/3rds of the way through.

Saved me having to change my pants if I had continued on.I doubt whether iI would of got another cut out of it.

So on looking back if you notice any funny noises or things don't seem right.Stop the machine and check things out before
something might happen to damage your machinery or cause you some harm.

End of Sermon.
