I bought a Diablo 80 tooth blade back in December/Jan time frame.
I finally mounted it, nice cuts. Then while cutting a 2x3 for a built in I am making the damn thing kicked back and twisted the wood in my miter saw. I have never had a problem with previous blades...
So then I notice it is not cutting as smooth and I don't see a problem... Well, while cleaning up I see a tooth... damn... then I notice that that tooths mount is bent.... So when it kicked back it bent the mount. Lots of red anti stick on the wood.
There doesn't appear to be much of a braze on this tooth. Not that I would know. This is my first tooth lost on a new blade. I have lost teeth on older blades, but that's expected heat... age, brittleness.
Has anyone else thrown a tooth this early... a dozen or so cuts. Do you think the tooth broke loose first causing the kickback??? or did I kick back and break the tooth?
