I have a Milwaukee 12" sliding compound miter saw that I'm very happy with. It is properly adjusted and now has a Freud LU85R012 blade on it, which was a considerable upgrade over the LOWES CMT blade that I did have on it, from both a cut quality standpoint and from a blade flex/squareness of final cut perspective. Still though, albeit to a much less degree, the new Freud blade produces cuts that are consistently a little deeper (shorter from the non-cut end) at the edge of the board NOT contacting the fence. I find that if I sneak up the to the cut, nibbling off a little at a time, I can get better results, but still, it's aggravating. Has anyone had this situation happen to them? I would think with a saw as good a quality as this one and with as good a blade as that one is, it shouldn't be happening. Is there a technique issue I should consider? Thanks!
