Any advise sawing exotics like Padauk? I tried to saw them yesterday on my 10" bandsaw and while it works although at slower feed speed, noticed the sawdust wanted to stick to each other and the blade gullet is literally coated in sawdust that doesn't want to blow off, but I actually had to wipe it with a cloth to get it off. What do you do with woods like this, so that I don't have problems like sawdust clumping onto wheels and causing problems? |

Padauk is one of the worst. Recently when I had to do a lot on the table saw I put one of those over the saw blade collectors up to my dust collector & ran the shop vac hose near the blade too. The band saw is difficult to collect dust from but that's what I would try. Any & all vacuums available as close to the blade as you can get under the table. MM |

MM I just tried using a 3 tpi hook/ raker blade and it helped significantly. Not only that I could feed a little faster. |

Try a blade with a more aggressive set to clean out more dust from the cut. Also you can rub a little wax onto the blade before each cut; that helps lubricate things a bit and might help it to not gum things up so badly. |

Sawdust in the kerf means that you need bigger teeth or a slower feed rate. |
