Wavy boards are good for Hot Wheels cars

I cut 1600 BF of white spruce in 4 hours this after noon with one blade and I was amazed at how well and straight it sawed. I pulled the blade when I quit but it was still cutting good. the rooster tails were just starting to curl so I pulled it.

I added and extra 6 oz of the super bug and tar remover to blade lube and let the lube flow freely. Used about 10 gallons. Dont know if that is what made the difference but its the only thing I did different.

Now you have it, those tar bugs were dulling your blades.   :o
