Ts55 rough cuts on ply

[danturn]

Hey folks getting some rough edges on mitre cuts on ply at the moment.

This is 18mm birch ply with the blade that came with the ts55 (in the UK)


Does this point to anything specific?

I think the steps here could be

Replace splinter guard
Sharpen blade

Anything else?

Those would be my suggestions. You could go a bit further if a new sharp blade and splinter strip don't help by setting you blade to cut 2mm and pull it backward to pre score. I am assuming that image is of the top surface and that you are using something underneath to support your work (that wouldn't help the top surface but would help the cut on the bottom). I suspect you are in Europe. What is that plywood. It reminds me of some plywood that Home Depot sells here that will shred the top veneer under almost every instance when crosscut.
