To answer your question on the chop saw cut, That is known as tear out and happens for several reasons. One is the blade that you are using as you should be using a blade with somewhere between 60 and 80 teeth on a 10" saw. The tooth configurations should be a finish blade. The saw may have the throat being wide and thus not giving the wood support for the wood grains and as a result they are being forced outward down through the open throat and are jagged from actually being pushed out from the wood stock and broken off rather that cut. Depending on the saw your are using you might be able to make a throat plate filler that will fit the kerf of your blade and closing the throat plate gap.
It is of great imprtance that you have a sharp blade and that you do not force the blade through the stock and allow the blade to cut rather than plow out the kerf.

First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…
