The only thing that comes to mind is you need a blade that cuts a wider kerf than the thickness of the blade body. That way it won’t bind and should clear chips. Also, I would have clamped an angle iron to the surface as a rip guide so you wouldn’t wander, because any slight deviation off a perfectly straight cut will tend to bind. I think that could have been part of the problem. Basically I think you needed a rip blade instead of a crosscut blade. I understand it’s metal, but the concept is the same. Also, using a rip guide would allow you to set the blade for a much shallower cut or even multiple passes - running cooler and with less tendency to bind.
I can't help it, but since I've been following you for awhile and you've definitely saved me some labor costs on small engines repair, where in southwest Pennsylvania are you from? I got an ear for Pittsburghese, and was just curious. Keep up the good d.o.y. videos. 👍
Nice fabrication Bob. That is a lot better and nicer trailer now than when you bought it.
3:42 The unused clamp up front wondering why it had the day off.
Cant argue with success. Looks great!
Good job! I put a cutting disc on mine much like the one on a metal chop saw if you know what I mean. Buy more than one because they wear quickly. 😎
Nice job DW, fits like an OJ glove. 🤣

Thank you for the video
Good job man.😮
Barb next time use a little water for lubricant when using a saw
