Hi All,
I recently purchased a Sawstop PCS175, and got done assembling it.
I am having an issue quite often with rip cuts, where I will be cutting thick stock, the saw cuts just fine until some point mid cut where it feels as though I'm hitting a wall - the motor is still going and the blade hasn't slowed down, so it's not bogging down or slowing down, just feels as though I'm pushing the stock into a stationary blade.
Pulling the stock back a tad and going again usually lets me finish the rip just fine. The stock I'm talking about is around 2 or 3" pine, so it's not a very taxing material. Any ideas on what might be happening?
