Help and advice please-Timber burning
When I pass timber past the blade on my table saw the bottom edge of the timber burns badly. Why is this?

I'd give a guess and say the blade is blunt. The blade, does it have a build up of black gunk on it?

It could also suggest that your blade is not sqaure to the mitre track and fence!?
Set your blade up correctly and once square then set your fence to the mitre slot kicking it out by a poofteenth.
When the wood goes threw it must just whistle by the back of the blade and not touch.
Otherwise you have a very blunt blade!?

The bladed is new and the gunk is towards the centre of the disk not near the teeth. Also happens with two different blades. I will check the alignment of the fence.

What Milo said. I dare say it's an alignment issue.

It was an alignment issue. And seems to be fixed. On another matter, when I bought the saw I knew that it had a 2 HP motor and I wondered if that would be okay. Well I can report that it will happily rip 75 mm Jarah with no signs of any difficulty at all. (Once the fence is adjusted that is.)

try using a saw blade with less teeth too many teeth causes burning like that poeple think they can get a better cut with a fine saw but finding the right medium comes with experience how many teeth on the blade you are using now

I was getting the problem with an 80 tooth and a 20 tooth ripping blade. But I have kicked the fence out slightly at the rear and the problem seems to have gone away. But you are right about the number of teeth. I mostly leave the 20 tooth blade in since it gives an adequate cross cut, while ripping with ease. The 80 tooth blade does not rip very well. For working with sheet materials I do go to the trouble of putting it in. If I am not 100% happy with any edge I can always run little block plane over it and I get a edge so smooth you can see yourself in it.
