Howdy,
There is some kind of hard schmutz overflowing out of the laser cuts on my new blade. Looks liquid, but it isn't. It is a dried epoxy type stuff, and it is rock hard. Fills the laser cuts completely. This is my third Freud blade and I have noticed that the laser cuts are filled on my other blades, too, but I have never seen it all gunked up on the blade body itself.
1. Does anyone know what this is?
2. Would you attempt to scrape it off, or would you return the blade?
3. Anyone think I could use it this way? It is pretty thick…so, I am thinking probably not, but if anyone has used one like this, I would love to know how that worked out for ya.
I would be sad to return it…had to order it on Amazon and I REALLY want to try out my new custom thin kerf splitter and guard assembly. Returning it would put me out at least two weeks
Thanks!
