Miter saw binding can be dangerous for the operator are those around you. On top of this, you’ll quickly ruin your miter saw and the material you want to cut with it.
Miter saw binding is not something that should be regularly occurring. Should it be a regular occurrence look into new blades or even a new miter saw if you are having power issues.
Luckily miter saws are some of the safest power saws, however, if you are experiencing binding on another circular style saw such as a skill saw or table saw, it is much more dangerous.
Again, use the correct blade, ensure it is clean and sharp, clamp your material down, and use proper technique when operating a miter saw.
Miter saw binding is nearly always preventable, provided you are being vigilant. Kickback can cause serious harm.
Stay safe!
