For all those with tablesaw cove cutting experience...
I understand that taking small passes (+- 1/8") makes sense due to large forces on the motor and side loads on the blade, but just to be sure I understand the way the saw is cutting; a pass larger than the depth of the carbide teeth would physically not cut at all correct? The exposed part of the blade without teeth would simply jam into the lower part of the uncut cove.?
Also, is the fact that the back half of the blade is also cutting not really that big of a concern in regards to kickback? I assume that if the teeth were dull and/or a larger pass was attempted quickly that those teeth in the back could theoretically lift the work piece?
Just want to make sure I understand the forces during the cut before trying it...
