I used my Makita Tracksaw last night to cut a 2 inch cross cut resin table. The saw ended up knicking part of the rail. How do you adjust the saw so it doesn’t hit the rail? Also, is the rail fine to keep using if you replace the splinter guard?
This happened to me once.
My understanding is that the blade over heated in the cut and actually warped during the cut.
Next time use a low tooth count. 16 tooth. I think festool has a 12.
Another option is running the cut is incremental passes.
Crazy, I haven’t heard this before. Good to know. I use mine a lot and haven’t had the blade warp or that issue. I guess I never thought about that before. Thanks for the trick, on the blade.
