Okay...newbie here...let me get this straight...

With one of these babies (and the right technique), could I cut
through, say 4/4 cherry and actually have a straight cut? And by
straight, I don't mean "following the lines," but rather one without
blade deflection?

If you use the appropriate Progressor blade and just let the blade cut
without undue presure, that's pretty much the case.

Bosch "Progressor" blades are excellent and they have some that are a little
thicker specifically to minimize blade deflection.
