Something Wrong With My Saw.
I am doing finish work and am working on baseboards. I have cut this 1 board 3 times and it is still too short...Do you think there is something wrong with my saw or is it defective wood?

Re: Something Wrong With My Saw.
It might be a carbon based error

Re: Something Wrong With My Saw.
You need to go to the rental place and get a board stretcher. Works every time.

Re: Something Wrong With My Saw.
I had a strange experience this weekend. had a bunch of rips to make shelfing cleats in my boats liner. brand new diablo blade, put on rip fence on saw start rippping 2x6, blade wandered binded all over the place, the cut looked like a damn sine wave, this was a first, the 2x6 was from lowes, tossed it in the dumpster, went and got another from a local yard, no problem???

Re: Something Wrong With My Saw.
I will usually collect the sawdust from the Bag and glue it to the end. Then when it is tacky shape it to the profile

Re: Something Wrong With My Saw.
You should take the wood back to the original manufacturer and tell them their wood is too short.

Re: Something Wrong With My Saw.
I got a new bosch saw for just this occasion. I shows me an error code for whatever the problem might be. In this case it's usually an id 10t error.

Re: Something Wrong With My Saw.
This is easy. I had the same problem just flip it over and try cutting the wood from the other side
