Why is my table saw blade burning my wood?



Perhaps the most common cause for table saw burning wood is a dirty blade. A dirty saw blade will perform less-effectively and leave a rougher surface (including possible burn marks). Using a dirty saw blade can wear down the teeth sooner and cause heat-related damage if you do not clean it, as well.

What causes a circular saw to smoke?

The blade’s teeth flare slightly to cut down on (you guessed it) friction. By flaring the teeth, you make sure they are the only thing contacting the material during the cut. If your blade set is disrupted for any reason, then your blade’s body could be contacting the wood during the cut, causing heat and smoke.
