But with a properly designed heliacal head the inserts are contacting the wood at a skewed angle. So the angle of attack of the insert is not just the 30 degrees of the insert. The insert contact's the wood at a compound angle, so it scoopes, not scrapes. If the design was not such, there would not be as many satisfied users as there are. The Dewalt 735 is not a high HP machine and it handles it just fine, you can't take large cuts with that machine no matter the cutter head that is installed. It's noisy as hell, but it gets the job done just fine and IMHO and others it's better with a helical head than the OEM blades. And as an aside, I just put a negative rake blade in my Milwaukee M18 Miter saw and it handles it wonderfully.
