Circular Saw Burning/Smoking Problem
Lots of saws, even fairly pricey table saws, come with lousy blades. That
would be the first thing I tried. Replace the blade.

I wouldn't think the teeth need sharpening, both the blade and saw are
brand new, right out of the box. Maybe its just a crappy saw?

Hello all,
As an intermediate woodworker/DIY'r, I am surprised to be having
trouble with my new circular saw. I am attempting to cut through 1''
stair noses, but my brand new Skill 7 1/4'' saw can barely cut through
the wood and smokes excessivly. I finally used a jig saw to finish
the cut and noticed that the wood was black from burning.
Any thoughts? I've never experienced this with my 18v Ryobi cordless
saw, and I use it pretty hard. This saw even smoked while cutting a
1'' bamboo stair tread, which the Ryobi cut effortlessly.
Thanks in advance,
Joe
Either the teeth need sharpening on the blade or the motor is getting
snagged?
