it would burn edges.
Weirdly I had this more when the blade was newer, now it’s a bit older is doesn’t seem to be as much of an issue (although maybe I just haven’t cut bit bits of birch ply recently). Glad* you had the same problem - I’d just assumed it was burning because I was doing something wrong 😅.
I bought a spare Axminster blade for cheap but I’ve never had to use it as the Mafell blade still seems pretty happy/I’ve not made anything nice enough to need that level of finish #bodger4lyf
*glad to have the fault found with the equipment rather than the user that is!

No different really. I’ve not used the Mafell blade in ages as I found even when fresh from sharpening it would burn edges.
The Mafell blade is 162mm too, which is silly. All other blades are 160mm but it’s easy to dial in the depth gauge so not really an issue.
