We are using this saw with a 60T carbide tipped blade; our blade is old and imperfect, but with some careful attention to technique we are able to hold pretty decent smoothness and squareness. We are relieving the edges with a deburr tool and cleaning the cut pieces with alcohol before painting. We cut about 20 pieces yesterday. I'll post a photo when we've finished a batch.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
