Hi guys, I recently bought a 12" Dewalt DW715 CMS and purchased a 12" 80T Chopmaster blade from Forrest. I have never used a Chopmaster blade I have a few WWII. Up until recently I used a 10" Dewalt CMS and a more generic 60 or 80 T blade. I am having trouble getting used to the Chopmaster. It seems to require a more downward pressure to cut than I am used to. The cut seem to be pretty smooth, but the action feels like using a dull blade. If that is how it is supposed to feel due to the negative face hook, how do you determine if the blade is getting dull... burning?
Thanks
Mark
