Well, considering that the board was bought at Home Depot and required the hold-down
clamp to flatten it against the saw's table, it is definitely scrap.


So is it the saw or the board that is the problem? Could the board be
moving once the blade stops? Have you tried a different board?

I wonder of the force of the rotating blade is causing some stress that
causes it to move during the cut.


I'm going to stop and pick up a perfectly flat 1x12 later today. There's a lumber yard near
my work where I can get good wood.

I don't think the board is moving because it is clamped to the table to keep it flat. It's the
clamped side that's showing the groove. I'll test a few more things and removing the
possibility of the board causing the problem is my next step.
