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

My apologies, Peter, not "Peeter" as my hiccuping keyboard may have implied.? Radu.?

I'm currently leaning on thinking I had a couple degrees angle of "attack" error/tilt I didn't realize the saw squaring device creeped to have. The mirco-table saw is great overall, but doesn't have extremely precise adjustments of the geometry of cutting. Not 100% sure that's what was causing my conundrum, but the?working?theory I'm on right now.? I am confused about?John's point. What dust is deadly? PCB sawing dust? If yes, I'm not cutting PCB in this particular step under examination here - but rather plastic (fiberglass?...) from the edge connector body - though I've occasionally cut PCB and wasn't aware there's an ominous aspect to it. John - would you care to elaborate? Radu.?

The dust is deadly.? You could try using a hacksaw with water applied.? The water keeps dust from happening, and lets the cuttings
move out as they are made.
pcb material can be scribed with a sharp pointy blade like a utility knife or the snap off kind.? Then you can follow that line to
one side or down the middle of the scribe.
Water cutting usually stops jamming, even with the dull blade.
