Answers:
   Why won't my bandsaw cut in a straight line?
The blade is getting blunt and is trying to find the easiest way , it is cutting with the grain rather than the line.

   Why are my bandsaw blades developing hairline cracks?
The tension is too tight or the thrust bearing is worn.

   Can you sharpen TCT saw blades?
We have a weekly regrind service. We can regrind hand saws, circular saw blades, router bits and plane irons.

   Why does the wood burn when I rip with my circular saw?
When ripping to the maximum depth you require a coarse tooth rip blade so that air can get between the teeth to keep it cool. Also, Make sure the blade is sharp.
