It's just that in order to keep the blade on, I have to set it VERY slow.
I can cut with almost full head pressure on anything larger than about 2" wide. I had a few issues when I bought the saw but have not had issues for over a yeah. Maybe you probably have some blade alignment issues. My saw was sold by Harbor Freight and I can say with absolute certainty that many of there saws had the pivot point for the head drilled wrong. In order for the blade to cut through stock the blade guides had to deflect the blade downward. This is really a bad thing to do. The guides should twist the blade and and just touch the back of the blade, not push down. Your saw is not HF red so maybe this is not the issue.?
If anyone has this situation shoot me an email and I'll tell you how to fix it.
