I did the hydraulic feed mod to my saw years ago I now I¡¯m not sure it was a good idea. The problem is that hydraulic feed controls the rate of descent, but not the pressure. I seem to throw the blade more than when I had the old spring. I have to set the drop speed very low, or risk throwing the blade. Maybe this is due to another problem in my saw, but I don¡¯t recall throwing blades when I had the spring, and I think it¡¯s because the spring sets pressure, while hydraulics set speed. Any advice?
?
