I have been playing around with the saw and I have been able to cut a 2" pipe dry. I cranked down on the blade tension as much as I could by hand, and it doesn't seem to be throwing the blade anymore. It does have hydraulic down feed, and I slowed it to a crawl. I seems crazy to run dry seeing the price of blades. I will probably be kicking myself for trading the saw, the problem is I just don't have room for it. I do have room for the stainless steel 9mm Beretta I am getting in trade. Momma's not too happy, but she wasn't very happy when I brought the saw home either.
Thanks to all for the advice,
Mark
