Chris it's funny that you said this.
For years I had always gone with raising my blade just above the cutting surface. Then a few years ago I had a woodworker school trained from Germany informed me that they always raise their blades up high.
His reasoning were the same as you indicated. 1 cooling and the other was better cutting as the teeth are coming down at more of a right angle than shallow angle.
It took me a bit to get use to this.
I do a allot of custom cutting on most hardwoods. the forrest blades have performed really well for me.
I use easy off oven cleaner to remove pitch build up, from my blades. works really good when I notice any burning starting to develop, caused by pitch buildup up right behind the teeth.
