I am looking for some advice for what to do on a project I have started. I am trying to cut some Weyerhauser Melamine panels for a shelving system to go in the utility room. My problem is that when I get about halfway through the 16" panel, the blade starts to bind up in the cut and it begins to burn the panel. I got through the cut but really mangled the last three to four inches. BTW I am using a Circular Saw with a DeWalt Laminates Blade.
What am I doing wrong? Would it be better just to borrow some time on my friend's RAS, or do they even cut that wide? What would you suggest?
Thanks! :)
