I need some advice...I realize the some of the hardwoods (cherry, maple, etc) are very susceptible to edge burning during milling and sawing operations. That said, I have minimized the problem during milling operations by using a sharp bit and setting my router speed to the slowest possible setting; however, I am not sure what I can do with regard to rip cuts on my table saw. Currently, I am using a new combo blade that came with my saw (SawStop), it is a very sharp, high quality blade, nonetheless I am encountering significant charring. Can anyone recommend a blade (or technique) that will minimize the problem. I ended up using my smoothing plane to get rid of the charred edges on my current project...if this is the only solution, I will need to factor this into all future measurements prior to cutting to width.
Thanks,
Donn
