Greetings,
The only suggestion I can add is, perhaps if you draw a few straight lines on some scrap wood and
then cut some with the saw speed pretty high, some with the speed pretty low, and maybe a couple with
the speed near the middle, you will find what speed suits you personally.
What-ever speed you are cutting at you have to remember the adjust how fast you feed the wood into the
blade and let the blade do the cutting. If you are bowing the blade and the blade has to catch up when you
stop pushing while the blade is still running, you are pushing too fast into the blade.
God Bless! Spirithorse
