If Dad and Uncle Gene were still alive they would go to the mat with ya about that. I've seen Schwarz's mispelling before, Swarf is the goo you get on a sharpening stone, ask any machinist.

Kerf on the table saw and then do the bandsaw to finish.  Considerably faster resaw!

Swarf can refer to small waste particles of any material, wood and plastic included.

How dry is the oak? If it still has a lot of moisture content, then it will cause the blade to bind, putting pressure on the motor tripping your breaker.
