my 2c

Although I am my first stripper, I have ripped a couple of miles of all kinds of wood. The only time I have ever seen a saw do what you show and discribe was from blade heat up. Especially when you rip the first part straight then it begins to walk. Too much pressure on the sides of the blade. Not enough set in the teeth to keep the material away from the sides of the blade. Wood with a lot of resin that gums up the blade sides. Dull blade. Blade set too high. Fence not perfectly parallel to the blade. The list goes on. I've managed to subject my self to it all. But it boils down to heat and a thin blade. It is really amazing how much walk there can be and still keep the blade in the saw. I have finally learned to use a g\very sharp blade and kep it clean. then go like h---.
