I am not citing anicdotal evidence. I am citing the closest thing to a
labratory experiment available, the FWW labs. They tested thin kerf
alongside full size and found NO evidence of "wobble" or deflection,
even specifically on shaving cuts where one side of the blade is
unsupported.

But no one is stopping you from buying extra metal amd making extra
sawdust and wearing our your saw motor extra early and burning rips
when you bog your saw, etc. etc.


I have to agree with robatoy about hearing and seeing the vibration
and oscillation even with a stabilizer on a thin kerf blade. And this
is with a Forrest blade and a Forrest stabilizer.
