When I
rotate the saw blade 45 degrees to cut a 45 on edge, the last inch
that goes through the blade is curved. The mitred corners are messed
up as a result. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your time and happy
holidays.

An old saying from my father: "Let the tool do the work." [He was
showing me how to use a hammer for the first time. He could use one
all day long without tiring.]

Blade not sharp? You are possibly bearing down too hard when passing
the wood through the saw. The stress eases at the end and you
naturally then shear away.

Make su Sharp blade [carbide?], right strength motor, right size
pulley for rotation speed. Then ... *some* pressure to direct the
wood, but ...let the tool do the work as you do enough only to guide
it. Same thing with sanding, chiselling, ...anything.
