It be the saw.

Here is the 1/2" MDF:

I tried 2 different blades and I tried both with and without the
hold down clamp. The groove might be ever so slightly shallower
without the hold down clamp, but it's still there.


That sucks..I don't have a slider but is it common practice to stop
the blade while in the kerf?


Sometimes when you pull the blade back out of a cut, it will pull some
fuzz up on the top of the cut, or chip the top veneer of plywood or
melamine. So, it's a valid technique to stop the blade "in the cut."

It shouldn't do what's happening in his pics... certainly not for 6 bills.
