can't tell you how many times I felt the same way, practice, practice, practice, you'll break a lot of blades, pay attention to the sound of the saw, how much pressure you have to use to cut, after you've practiced on some easy ones go to the hard ones to see what you are doing wrong, too fast, too slow, wrong blade, there is no better place than here to ask questions, we love for you to pick our brains, every time we help, we learn as well, wear a mask!!!
