A little guidance

[wink]

 I bought a new Circular saw about 8 years ago to put on 1956 lane mill turns out it needed 3/ 16 lead to run cool and cut good . Upgraded mills in September 1985 lane used same blade 3/16 again  . Sawed some pine and some hemlock worked great sawed a few spruce and then blade started to cut into the log . Sharpend the teeth with my dexter guide didn't help installed new bits didn't help question is did I lose tension or would a blade need less lead that quick . 🤷‍♂️ any other ideas

Well I see it was spruce you had problems with. Spruce sawing headaches aren't just for bandmill guys, some spruce logs just aren't fit for sawing🤷‍♂️

What model lane do you have?

I think your correct about the log I had issues before with spruce but this is the worst I'm going to make the rest of it firewood and try another hemlock to see what happens.  Thanks 

What model lane do you have?
My old one was a #2  this one used to have a tag on it but gone I haven't been able to identify by finding another  one the same . I was told 1985 its electric over hydraulic  with a cab🤷‍♂️
