The article “Miter Saws Cover All the Angles” in the tool guide suggests replacing the OEM miter saw blade with an 80-tooth (for 10″ blades) thick kerf blade to prevent tearout.
I just ordered a compound miter saw which comes with an “all purpose” carbide blade.
When am I going to need an 80-tooth thick kerf blade and which specific blade would you recommend?

JessEm Mite-R Excel II Miter Gauge
The gauge has a quick and easy method for fitting the guide bar precisely to your tablesaw’s miter slot. This means the gauge can be recalibrated if necessary for continued accuracy. The face of the protractor head can be adjusted square to the table and also square to the guide bar. This ensures accurate cuts, and it, too, can be readjusted if the need arises. The protractor head has stainless-steel knobs and fittings and high-contrast, easy-to-read white numbers and increments.

Buzz: Freud makes an excellent saw blade for compound miter boxes. You didn't mention if you had a sliding miter saw, if you do make sure you get a negitive rake blade for the saw. Good luck see attached web site for freud..

I went to the Freud site and, after choosing "10 inch compound miter saw" "hard and soft wood under 1 1/4" and "crosscut," the site suggested I get a Diablo blade which is a contractor's standard thin-kerf blade. So, I Emailed Freud to get the right answer. They responded:
"If you are a professional or serious woodworker that is not the blade I would recommend. For someone doing that level of work the blade of choice would be the LU85R010 which is a full kerf industrial blade. The Diablo blades are more for contractors for the job site. The reason that it gave you the contractor's blade is that the link they gave you was from the contractor's side of the web site. If they would have given you the below link you would have gone to the woodworking side and the LU85 would have been listed as a choice.http://www.freudtools.com/tool_search/mp/tool_search.mp?question=question1§ion=a
