WOT (Waay off topic): circular saw blade not cutting anymore (gets stuck on material)


 

Hi all,
I hope you all will accept a "waaay off topic" (= WOT) post here coming out of frustration with... tools.?
?
I have this micro table saw () that I've successfully used to shorten these EDAC card edge connectors (I need them to not have an edge and accept cards on their full length, if that makes any sense). Great pico-table, all things considered. The blade I've been using is the HSS one, and it just stopped working. It'd get stuck on the material - a pretty soft material, I'd wager. I assumed the blade got dull and replaced it with the "alloy steel T-type teeth" one and I get the same effect - both get stuck on the plastic connector.?
?
I think the reason the second type of blade gets stuck is that it's the wrong type of teeth for the job, and I'm sticking with the theory the first (initially successful) blade, the HSS, is failing now because it dulled.?
?
Anything else I should be considering? I ordered a tougher blade to be delivered tomorrow (), but this delays me quite a bit in a tough weekend with a bunch of projects I just have to wrap up on.?
?
Thank you for your input!
Radu.?
