So - I am 99% sure I know the answer to this, however I upgraded my 20 year old dewalt miter saw to a Makita LS1219L SCMS. The blade that came with the saw is a 60t Makita blade that seems 1/2 way decent. I am so used to seeing low tooth count general purpose blades as the stock blade in a miter saw.
I was going to immediately swap out the blade to a Freud 72T Thin Kerf Sliding Compound Miter Saw Blade that has a neg 5deg rake. The blade in my old miter saw is a freud 80t, and while it's been recently sharpened, I have no clue what the rake is on it and figure it will go to whoever buys my old saw.
My first project for this saw is redoing a significant amount of the molding in my house. (It will be painted Poplar).
So the ultimate question if anyone has experience with this blade, how does it hold up, how well does it cut, etc. Or swap it for a known entity.
