10" backhoe bucket for Ford 755

[NortonDommi]

I have a Blue Mole arbor I bought in 1997 and try to run at around 100 rpm or even less for bigger saws like 3 -4 inch. Keeping chips clear is the major problem so some times it is peck drilling, vacuum cleaner can help. I use enough pressure to cut and stop and clear as soon as I feel the drag change due to teeth clogging.
Saw quality is a big factor as I have used some cheapies and they haven't even made one cut before burning, blunting or losing teeth.
I had a friend who is a carpenter borrow one of my saws last week and he wrecked it in under a minute apparently by running at high speed and leaning on his drill.
Bought me a new saw and a pie and asked me to finish job so all good.
