Cause
Blade is too hard for material being cut.

Remedy
Use correct blade with softer bond.

Cause
Excessive cutting pressure, or jamming or twisting the blade in the cut can cause the blade core to bend or flex. When subjected to extreme stress and metal fatigue, the blade's steel core will eventually crack.

Remedy
The saw operator should use steady, even infeed pressure, and be careful not to twist or jame the blade in the cut.
