TonighI was using the band saw and the shop become very smokey. It was charring the wood (Grizzly 14" w/ half inch blade) it even darkend the wood on straight cuts. Please see photos. I do not have a lot of expereince with this tool and was wondering if it is normal.

Much to my chagrin, I had the blade on backwards. I even checked this thinking. "why are the hooks backward from other baldes". Seeing there was no way to put it on backwards............ until I saw the comment that the balde can face backwards if it is insdie out . Thanks for everyones feedback. I am gald I have you guys.

Don't feel bad..............lot's of use have done such things...a couple of weeks ago I managed to put two of the chipper blades in a dado set on backwards ( teach me to be talking on phone when I should'nt be) and let me tell you it makes for intresting and smoky fun... after ruining my panel....
seems cut quality improves when the blade is oriented properly
