Replaced my circular saw blade with a carbide tip combination blade. It cuts all right, but sounds irregular, like it might not be spinning evenly. I’m pretty sure the arbor is the same as the one I removed, and I tightened it and replaced the nut and washer the same. What’s up? Also, it seems a little unforgiving, causing a kickback for the first time, binding some and frying one of my circuits. Are these so different from steel? Todd

Sounds like a bum blade.

Todd, if anything, the carbide blade should help stop those problems not create them. You got a bad blade.
