the blade that was in my circular is totally goosed |

| ok ta for the advice. actually the blade i took out the machine is a negative rake design aswell having compared the 3 i have there all like that. cutting performance was pretty crap. guess its due to the blade design partially. ill sort a new blade for it asap |

| It could just be that your blades need sharpening, check for burning on the sides of the teeth. Negative rake blades are those multi material type blades you can use on wood and aluminum, generally they aren't as good in timber as a positive raked blades. |
