There is no getting over the hardness of the wood it just takes more time. AlohaStation originally came over to do some test cuts and it was just going to take to much time for me to be able compensate him properly. I'm not a chin saw expert buy any means but I did go and get a chain saw blade for the chainsaw that had a very aggressive tooth profile and the same with the Lance-a-lot (I guess there are two styles one with wider set teeth and the other is more narrowly set) as for grinding discs I'm starting with 32 grit (which resembles small rocks glued to the disc) and working up.
