If I were to guess, It would be the blade-- If you have a thin kerf
blade in the sliding saw, it would tend to bind more in wet wood than
dry- try switching blades in saws & see if it makes a difference. BTW,
was the wood treated by chance? - it's almost always wet. I think
they continue to soak it in transit so it will spit at you when you use
it LOL. Phil

I bought this Makita LS 1013 compound chop box and love it ton's, has
done
everything so far without a hitch till now...just a quick question. I
bought
some 1x4x10' wood to finish up the storage area above my garage (it
took 35
pieces total) any way when I was loading the wood up some of it felt
damp,
not soaking wet but damp, so I didn't give it another thought but
when I was
crosscutting it (I do go slow but not too slow or too fast) I notice
the
blade wanted to bind up about half way thru the cut (scared me alot)
so I
switched back to my Ryobe to finish the job and had no problems , was
it
because the wood was damp or the combination of sliding cutting on
damp wood
the problem?? I won't be cutting damp wood again on that
saw........................TIA
