Thanks for the tips, Scott, I'll watch out for that. Conditioning the new blades is a good idea, I have a few chunks of 3" solid round plain steel I can make some "baloney slices" from. One of the reasons I bought the saw is also for being able to cut down round stock to put it in the lathe. There is a really great metal scrap yard down in San Jose that I get to visit once in a while, It is loaded with cut (much of it new) remnant materials and now, having this saw around opens up a lot more possibilities.
