I had a radial arm many years ago, a Sears 9" model. Not many of those were sold I hear. Recently I bought a 10" saw, same 1970's vintage. When I crosscut a board, I don't recall that the blade wanted to pull its way through the board so quickly. The way it is I have to put pressure on the carraige so rather than pulling thru the board I'm trying to stop it from overtaking the cut. It doesn't seem right and frankly dangerous. I thought at first I had the blade on the opposite way, but based on magazine pictures I don't think that's it. The teeth point forward and down. Am I doing something wrong? Help and advise would be really appreciated, until then I think I'll keep this old saw under wraps. Thanks. Mike
