Just a follow up. I found a video (link below) that mentioned the problem I was having and attributed it to too much set as several other people above mentioned. The narrator suggested that using a small diamond sharpener to reduce the metal on the side that was over-set was not an ideal solution but that it worked.
I put my panel saw in my vice leaving about 2″ of plate sticking up and I ran my coarse diamond stone down it (with about 2lbs of pressure) three times. Then I tried ripping with it again. I seem to be able to cut just fine now.
I’ll do some more extensive testing and if anything comes up I’ll follow up here but for now I’m calling this “fixed”.
Thank you everyone who replied. I learned a lot on this thread both related and unrelated to my problem.
