    I'd glue up the radiused corners out of several thin plys of what ever your wood is. Then your grain will wrap, and won't need the bread board. I don't care for the seasonal movement of the bread...

    I'd go with a hot pipe and a bit of aluminum flashing to back up the wood. A cheap Harbor freight heat gun blowing into some pipe does a good job.

    I've been running a Woodmaster CT 1" on my 20" Agazzani BS. I'm a hobbiest, so infrequent use. I keep it detensioned when not in use. The blade had been on the saw about three years when it broke....

    They are not expensive. I'd just replace it see what happens. I had that happen on an old Reliant dust collector. Got replacement at an electrical supply house. Solved the problem.
