[QUOTE="Jsmith2211, post: 7094645, member: 147572"] We always sharpen the tips with a flat file before using the saw and if we notice it is having trouble cutting. There are sometimes scorch marks on the wood from where it is rubbing. there are no dogs on our saw so the log can sometimes be pushed away from the saw blade, it does have a fence which we do use. sometimes the logs are pushed away from the saw blade when sawing, usually with smaller sticks for weatherboard etc. There look to be some holes to put a bolt and a block of wood or similar to hold the log from being pushed back, but they are just empty holes. The saw has always made fine dust, i can never remember it any different. It looks like the frame of the saw is very close to the blade, potentially rubbing, and the blade does not spin with no resistance (with the belt off of course). There is always a decent bit of drag on the blade even with no wood near the saw, to the point where my 135 slows a little when starting her up. (not much but it is noticable, like starting up the topper in heavy grass) once it is going it speeds up fine, its just that initial start. I did run the saw without anything cutting (when i recorded that video) but the blade did not heat, so the rubbing cannot be sufficient to cause heat. I think the blade is rubbing against the wood because it has lost tension somehow, but i dont know enough about these saws (and neither does my father, who owns the saw) to know if that would cause the fine sawdust.
