That blade came into contact with something harder than Pine. Check out the abrasions/shiny spots at the base of each tooth and the big gash by the expansion cutView attachment 187062: View attachment 187062
Very observant like Sherlock Holmes!

What is the proper safety gear for what is basically shrapnel?
When I rip a short board I usually stand to the side and push. Can't do that with a long one. This thread gives me pause.
Because it is a Freud blade, contact them about examining blade and repair if possible. Replacing broken carbide teeth is a normal operation at almost all sharpening services. I had a NEW Forrest WWII hit a hidden SKU staple in the end of a piece of wood, and it lost three teeth.
Actually it's still under warranty if you are the original purchaser. Freud's power tools carry a one year warranty, but blades carry a satisfaction guarentee to original purchaserThanks, but I've already replaced the blade with a new one. The broken blade is 6 years out of warranty. I got my money's worth out of it. For me it isn't worth messing with.
