I was attempting to slit a piece of solid steel stock in half with a slitting saw. It appears the saw started mistracking and started cutting off at a downward angle. I was preoccupied with trying to feed the saw and didn't notice the mistrack until too late. Saw was 0.020" thick. Material was 1018 5/8" thick. Was the saw defective? Is the answer a thicker saw? What causes the mistracking? There was plenty of oil. Sierra American SA-1000 arbor.
