I have an old delta contractor's saw. I have a WWII 0.125" kerf blade.
The cut has a lot of burning and drag when used on thick lumber (which
of course includes bevel cuts on 3/4" stock). I bought a freud thin
kerf 24 tooth rip blade specifically for ripping. Maybe the cut of
the Freud isn't polished smooth, but it flies thru the wood with zero
burning. Being lazy, I frequently use the rip blade for cross cutting
when a small amount of tear out is tolerable. I only use the WWII for
plywood and 3/4" stock or thinner. If I had to do it over, I'd try the
WWII thin kerf with 30 teeth.
