LS1013 blade and a panel pin

[dance]

My Makita LS1013 blade has encountered a panel pin in some reclaimed timber. I don't think it's cutting as smoothly as it was before, does this sound consistent with the circumstances and if so, is there anything to be done? Can the teeth be sharpened? It's not missing any teeth. I don't really want to buy a new blade if I can avoid it, it was about £50!

Cheers...

Whether or not it can be sharpened depends upon the blade. Is it TCT?

Sounds like you need a sharpen up for you're blade, price it up first and compare to this one ,--

I suggest you buy this one and keep the first one as a spare.
