I just finished sawing some 8/4 red oak, 4" wide, into roughly 1/4" widths, using a "new" 3/4" 3tpi Timberwolf blade. My bandsaw is a "new" Ridgid 14" (wheels are coplaner), and uses normal 110v circuit.
Even with making sure all the guides, blocks, etc are lined up, it took a lot of pressure to push the plank through. Is this normal? Seems like with this blade that it would be "easy".
Am I paranoid, or is there something wrong with this picture?
