[TheForge] Re: Chop Saw Irritation

I have read all of the messages about problems related to Chop Saws and the
reasons for them binding in the cut.  I think the problem is heat and the
metal shrinking in on the cut and binding on the blade.  If you stop and go
do something else and come back later it will cut fine!  My opinion, there
is a very remote chance that I might not be 100 percent right. Rowland
