I have a 10" general 650 3 hp cabinet saw. Never had any problems until this weekend. Attempted to make a 30" rip cut at a 15 degree angle through a 1.5" thick piece of red oak. I was using a Forrest 10" thin blade (my normal blade). Unlike most of my rip cuts, this cut took forever. the resulting cut surfaces were seriously burned.
I'm thinking either the blade is too thin, or the 3 hp isn't as powerful as I thought.
Any suggestions?
