## Cut quality

Radial scratches/grooves and/or breakouts at the clippings could have been caused by the following:  
****

- An uneven lateral projection of the carbide tooth can cause scratches on the surface of the stem. Possible causes: a production fault or an error during edge re-sharpening of the carbide tooth  
  Solution: Dismantlement of the tool and repair (re-sharpening)

- a missing tungsten carbide tooth causes a rough surface with breakouts at the bottom of the stem. Breaking of the carbide tooth can be caused by: 
    - foreign bodies in the wood
    - soldering defects in the production
    - wrong quality of carbide
   Solution: dismantlement of tools and repair (renewing of carbide-small-plate)

- one or more twisted teeth within the saw blade  
  solution: dismantlement of the tool and repair (levelling)
