Millwab Posted October 7, 2023 Report Share Posted October 7, 2023 I was cutting something out today and the top of the piece was showered with what looked like very fine metal shavings. In 40+ years of scrolling I’ve never experienced this. I’m thinking they’re coming off the blade but don’t know that for sure. Anyone ever seen this?

Denny Knappen Posted October 7, 2023 Report Share Posted October 7, 2023 Like Ray says, a picture might help, but I doubt that it is from the blade. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCtoolguy Posted October 7, 2023 Report Share Posted October 7, 2023 Yeah, I agree Denny. I'm thinking something in the saw is disintegrating. Bearings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t show you a pic ‘cause that project is done and cleaned. 8 hours ago, OCtoolguy said: Yeah, I agree Denny. I'm thinking something in the saw is disintegrating. Bearings? Can't think of what else it could be besides the blade. I changed to a different blade for the next cutting and there was nothing. A few hours of cutting later with a few different blades and nothing showing. If it was something disintegrating I would think I would see it regardless of which blade I’m using.
