I seriously doubt that the wood grain is impacting the cut like that. But, please give us a little info about your table saw.... Mfg., model, HP, etc. There may be a clue there is you are using a very weak saw.

Also, it's possible that the entire blade is wobbling. First, ensure that the blade itself is true. That should be simple enough to do by laying it on flat surface. If it lays flat, it should be fine. If you can touch it in spots and the blade moves (as in you can push it up against the flat surface, and and another spot lifts off of the surface), then your blade is bad.

Also check the collet where the blade attaches to the saw. If it's loose, it could cause a true blade to wobble. But, if that were the case, I'd also think that the blade would bind, and you wouldn't be able to actually make the cut because the friction would stop the blade from spinning.

None of the above may help, but try them, if nothing else, just to eliminate the possibility.
