Just for grins, since your tossing the original blade, try lightly
touching the leading side of the teeth with an abrasive with the saw
running, and see what happens with the cut.


That sounds like that recommendation to touch up jointer knives with a
sharpening stone and the jointer running - IOW, sounds more dangerous
than my soundly condemned technique of lowering a zero clearance table
saw insert onto the moving blade to cut the kerf slot.

I could see doing this under power if you turn the blade inside out so
that the teeth are pointing upwards. I've turned mine inside out to
clean them while running with emery paper or steel wool when they got
really gunked up when cutting green wood.
