Laguna Resaw King - Tha-pocket-a, tha-pocket-a Fix

[gee-dub]

I got my first RSK for Xmas.  There was this annoying tha-pocket-a, tha-pocket-a at one point as the blade went round.  It was not at the weld and did not seem to affect performance so I ignored it for awhile.  I was then cutting some thinner stock.  Without the blade buried in the stock the tha-pocket-a became more noticeable and actually exhibited a bit of a 'jump' at each occurrence.

I'm on the mend from an injury and so am killing a lot of time.  I decided to closely look at the blade.  I found a tooth that had missed part of the grinding stage.  I assume this is fairly automated so I am not sure now this would happen.  The tooth was larger and not smooth-faced or beveled like it's neighbors.

I found the first tooth in that orientation and used it as a guide to shape the tooth with a diamond file.  No more tha-pocket-a, that-pocket-a and no more jumping

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

I'm glad you shared this. I've got my RSK coming any day now. Hopefully I won't have this issue, but if I do, I know where to look.

Had the same issue on mine that i got in December. I mentioned it on the forum to a few people that were having rough cuts with their RSK blades. Make sure to use diamond a file didn't cut the burr for me. A regular water stone would probably cut it but only after the burr tearing apart the stone.

Good to know - thanks.
