I have own'd a table saw for almost a decade and I have NEVER encountered this before.
I am working on the top for the blanket chest I made. Solid white oak. I will post some pictures when its done but I need to make the top first.
I bought 8/4 rough cut white oak from my local lumber yard. The biggest piece is 11.5 inches wide. Two smaller width pieces.
I decided to cut the 11.5 in wide board in half to make it easier to mill. After running the three boards through my drum sander, for a final thickness of 1.9 inches, I noticed a slight twist on the 11.5 board. Its is 6' long and I was not worried, I have clamps that can fix that.
Onto cutting the 11.5 board in half. My still new Lugana F2 Fusion 1.75hp saw only made it 1' in before I could not push the board through the saw. That was my first WTF moment. I flipped the board over and it made it 2' in but again I was not able to push the board through the saw. My saw was complaining during the cut as well.
Could there be so much build up stress in the 11.5 board that cutting it results in the wood binding on the saw blade?
ETA: Wood is trash. Tons of stress in it. I will keep it for a future project (and until I can get a jointer and planer).
ETA2: My lumber yard gave me full credit for that board, $154.
