Found out my cutter head RPM was way off after reading a 1998 service manual I dug out of a truck

Man that's a rough discovery. All that time running with bad RPM probably messed with your cut quality without you even knowing. Old manuals are gold for stuff like this though. I had a similar thing with a 2002 bandsaw, found a worn out pulley the manual helped me spot.

Read somewhere that a 10% RPM error can cause heat buildup in the blade, which makes the cuts go rough way faster than you'd expect. Wild how one little number can mess with everything, right?
