   I have to pick up a new blade before I put this back on the table. Hopefully I can avoid burning it on my final cuts. There is still a slight unevenness to the bottom but I think it's so minor that it won't even matter. I might also do the cross cuts on the table but I don't have a sled so we'll have to see. I may also pick up a good blade for the skill saw and just use that. Both are pretty worn out and I'll need them anyway.
   
   I don't throw away old blades because I want to learn how to make them into knives or something.

     @BowsacNoodle not generally no, but cherry is especially prone to burning. I'm at the point where I need the best cut I can get so while I think the blade that's on there is still useable for general purpose I don't mind going out and grabbing a fresh one either. The one on the circular saw isn't really optimum for this kind of work anyway. It was bought to do fast repairs on a camper, not cutting hardwood. I've not really used it much in this project except for where the cut was going to be hidden in a dado or something.
     
     I will have to try and clean up the table saw blade and see how much of a difference it makes, but I think either way I want to get a fresh one for my outside edges.

     @thatguyoverthere Do you clean your blades? I learned about that a few years back and it makes a surprising difference in revitalizing old ones. They get buildup of random wood oils and saps and glue like things which makes them cut worse than they should.

     @thatguyoverthere @BowsacNoodle generic oven cleaner works really well to clean blades. But yeah, cherry does like to burn

     @spiral_power @thatguyoverthere Good idea! Would take care of burned on things too.
