Today is a nice, relatively lower humidity summer day in the mid 80s. Phone says it's 86F where I live and in the garage it might be a couple degrees warmer but the doors are open, multiple fans are running and it's pretty good for summer.
However, my PS300 feels like its running hot. I'm cutting parts out of 6/4 cherry and it's now warm enough that I would deem it to be "hot". I've not experienced this heat before (mostly I've cut parts with the Trion during cooler months). For this cherry, I'm using the Festool Wood Universal S105/4 FSG blades. It's not brand new today and I've used it a few times before.
During the last cut, it was starting to reach the point of being too hot to old, way more than noticeable and certainly within the realm of "is this going to kill the tool?" For the most part, I usually use the bandsaw to cut these parts but the blade snapped yesterday and I haven't the moment to run down to the store to pick up a new bandsaw blade.
Any thoughts?
