Ripped some 8/4 hard maple on my 1 3/4HP ProShop this evening. First time ripping hard maple, first time ripping 8/4 stock. Put on a 24T Freud ripping blade, pushed the wood through. It wasn't exactly like slicing butter...it was more like...Cheesecake...or maybe Apple Crisp...no Baked Alaska....
Whatever it was, the saw never objected, no burning, and a super smooth cut. Gotta love that. ccasion1
