A conical blade is not appropriate for your saws Imran. The saw needs automatic rise/fall with very precise and repeatable height stops, otherwise the scoring saw kerf width varies each time it¡¯s raised.?

Thank you all for the feedback. I just pulled out the blade for cleaning. It is correct size @ 120mm. Just checked eshop, $160 ? for a replacement from Felder. I think I will have current one sharpened first to see if anything changes. Like I said, it cuts fine. Here is a pic of the piece I used little while ago to adjust it.
Following on Mac¡¯s response I see Felder offers single piece scoring blade with conical profile. About half the price of 2 pc std affair.
I assume these are more suitable for dedicated production environment. A hobbyist will either have to remove the blade when it is not needed or adjust it every time once lowered. I guess an option would be to just use it all the times. Any opinions on this option?

Imran, I have not had the issues you mention with my scoring blades. ?As far as replacements go, I have not had good experience getting the kind of scoring blade I want (two-piece with shims) from suppliers other than from Felder. ?I suggest you order from Felder.

I have only had scoring blade for few yrs and only used plywood a few times. Blade came with the saw and had the dipped covering on it, as they sometimes do after sharpening.
Point is, I have cleaned it at least 3 times with very little use. It gets covered with crap (I assume adhesives) very quickly and sometimes will have burning smell but wood is not burned. Recently, on birch ply, it cut clean with no splintering, so makes me think it is not dull.
Another clue is that I can feel it pushing the material fwd at initial contact. I think I have it about 1/16¡± high. I use clamps most of the times and only felt this when I did some ripping recently.
If I wanted to try another blade should I get Felder offering or are there better ones.
Regards,
Imran
