    Have any of you tried the new turbo 747 blades from wood mizer I want to try them, I get a lot of "Pancake Flour '" sawdust when sawing locust my mill only has the 17HP diesel so cutting speed is a little slow when doing locust or white oak I tried the turbo 7 blades and went back to the 10 degree Bi Metal they last up to 600bdft but I get heavy sawdust on the boards and you have to scrape it off before stacking any feedback would be great JB

    Woodmizer is having a black Friday sale on blades. They have a mixed box of blades 2 of each kinda deal. Do you sharpen your own or use the resharp program?
