Title: blade heating.
Post by: jdw on February 28, 2016, 08:38:30 PM
Was cutting today my blade started heating in the center. I'm thinking it might be dull teeth but got dark before I could file them. I've never had this problem before an I looking in the right place?

It always helps to tell what sawmill you are sawing with.  Adding that information to your profile will help with future questions.

Not even close to a pro circle miller, just know a few, blade is running out, dull teeth a good culprit, as well as the log side of the teeth, dull or chipped,, a good starting point  hope you find it,, don't run it hot

Glad to hear you got it cooled back down,, not sure on the guide, a saw shop should have something that works for your situation.. I know Dave uses a saw Jockey, he said every break he does a fuzz job, just cause, he is running a corely mill now, was running the hurdle, likes both they each have their good points and faults, mainly on repairing air cylinders,
