I don't know exactly how to word this, but the carriage isn't going the full extent of saw. My tall rock isn't advancing at a certain point, so the blade just keeps spinning. The rock is indexed correctly with the proper amount of because sin paid out.
Ideas? This saw is kicking my butt!

Is the rock hitting the blade stiffener or the slab tray on the other side of the blade? If you index the rock away from the blade, does the carriage freely move the full length of the rails?
Is it a large rock? Maybe your blade is dull and/or your oil is dirty and not properly lubricating.

Does the saw have a screw feed? Will a smaller rock cut through?

Thanks for the input. This is my bad, I went back last night to look at it and cleaned the tracks better and it ran to the end like a champ. Live and learn I suppose.
I'm now going to start timing the cuts to see if I should low down the feed, but that's another topic:)
