Man oh man, had a couple of 'fun' moments this afternoon. I was ripping these boards down for more cutting board stock, and I had a couple of maple and a couple of walnut boards clamp right down on the blade as I was ripping them. I shut the saw down, pulled them off the blade, bumped the fence a smidgeon and tried again, got through them, but it wasn't fun. I was ripping relatively wide boards... 8, 10" wide 5/4 and 4/4 into 3 and 4" wide strips.
I left a couple in wide form, and Ill rip those to rough width on the bandsaw, I just didn't feel like swapping out blades on that when I hit the trouble boards. NO harm no foul, just a few tense moments.
