poor little thing - im sure you're right, only a couple of blades its a 5min job, really no excuse.
cost me £1200 decade or so ago and its been spot on :)
will open it up and put the grinder over the edges before we start and see if helps (im sure thats not how you're supposed do it either)
It could also be a blunt anvil (counter-knife), and/or too big a gap between the blades and anvil (hacksaw blade thickness distance is a good rule-of-thumb).

Early start this morning for a bollard replacement- always a rush job these.

Happily the heathland restoration job was around three miles away, so it was no problem to tell them I would be there tomorrow (today). I wish it worked out like that more often. Ranger had to stand in for what was really an Iveco job as I needed 4wd but she didn’t complain.

Definitely a good earning day today.

Bitumen cellulose pipe! Utter sh1t, gone like a chocolate flake. Tennant said had 13 years of drains problems, pipe is only 14” down and they run big tractor trailers over it. Squashed and holed in places, taking it all out and replacing it all

Also first job was finding the fibre optic warning tape 12” to the side of the actual cable! No sand no duct and only 12” down
