For those of you following my saga (aka previous thread)

I have an update. Last night, I took the face off the fence (PM Accufence on PM64A saw) and tried the one off the other side, same burning and chatter marks resulted. Then I replaced the UHMW face with a piece of 1/2" MDF cut to roughly the same size. When measured, this took out all the wiggle that I saw with the UHMW faces. Wiggle was in the +/- 0.002 range and toed out ~0.004" at the far end. Tried another cut (using 3/4" maple as my test board), and saw same chatter and burning. Convinced that it couldnt be my relatively newly sharpened Forrest WWII blade I put in my older, DeWalt thin kerf blade and everything worked fine. No chatter, no burning, cuts like 'buddah. Whats up? Everything must be aligned right or else the DeWalt blade wouldnt work, right?. I thought, well, the WWII got some pitch on the inside edge of each tooth, so I cleaned it well and tried it again, first cut, chatter, burning, and pitch buildup, from one cut. Again I ask, whats up?
