I swapped out my cutterhead teeth and wish I had done it sooner

I was running the same set of carbide teeth for about 8 months because I figured they still had some life left in them. After switching to a sharper set last week, my production went up by almost 20% and the engine isn't working as hard. Anyone else wait way too long to swap out worn teeth?

Swapped mine out two months late. Could tell cause the cut quality was getting rough on the edges. New teeth cut clean and the saw doesn't bog down like before. Feels stupid looking back now.

That's a rough lesson but at least you caught it!

Yeah I read dull blades just burn the wood instead of cutting it.
