Can it not be corrected by a sharpener, or would that leave it in a state where it’s at risk of breaking?

Also looks like a Diablo blade, so fortunately that leaves a lot of options for an upgrade.

yea, it's a combination of initial blade quality and effort

😦

Its only had like a few hours of time on the saw with that blade..... rip ( pun intended )

Did you buy it from a big box store? Can you return it as factory defective?

Do you think it came like this and you just noticed, or did something happen to bend the tooth that you were aware of?

based on the chipped tooth preceeding, that hit something bad in a cut

Likely has to do with the blown out throat plate...

I believe this saw has seen some shit

the plate blowout was either first or separate, you can see where the wayward tooth took a bite on the other side

probably lucky you didn't take one of these things in the face

[viscid jewel]

There is basically 0 way you could have been using that blade for hours of cuts with that tooth bent

So my advice would be the same as QP's

hire a grave digger, consider yourself lucky, get a new blade

Ponder what got run through the saw that caused this

[blazing fjord]

I think it happened when i adjusted the angle of a blade while inside a crosscut sled ( my bad dumb of me )
I have other blades but they are all combo

Shame my 1 rip blade is broken

Was this while the saw was turned on?
