I'm using an old Craftsman radial arm to crosscut cabinet plywood pieces
to length and seem to have a problem with surface tear out.

The tear out is only on the left side of the blade(a combo carbide blade
still in good shape). I get a clean cut on the right side.

Any ideas why this might be occurring, and only on the left side?

Since nobody else has mentioned thise, get a copy of Jon Eakes radial saw
book and do what it says

While you're about it you might want to pick up a copy of the Mr. Sawdust
book as well http://www.mrsawdust.com/.
