Finally figured out why my miter joints kept opening up on the last job
I was cutting everything with the saw set to zero, but my old blade had a tiny bit of wobble I never noticed. A guy on the crew pointed out the cuts looked a little 'hazy' and sure enough, a new blade fixed it. Anyone have a good way to check a blade for runout without fancy tools?

My buddy's "hazy" cuts were from a blade he checked by just spinning it and watching for wobble.

Three hundred grit is the lowest I would go for a table saw. A wobble check with the blade spinning catches the obvious issues but misses the tiny warps that cause burning. A dial indicator will tell you the real story in about thirty seconds.
