Hi - I mentioned in an earlier post that I use a Sears molding head cutter to cut my cove molding. I use 3 @ 1" wide cutters with a thumbnail profile.I do agree that more teeth are better, but what kind of teeth is the question. In looking at Lonnie Byrd's set, you don't see any sharp teeth. The classic crosscut blade has a Hi-ATB tooth. Meaning a sharp point. I think maybe a TCG (triple chip grind) would be better. A blade for melamine, plastic or even non-ferrous metal would be a good choice. Most of these blades are a negitive hook angle which might help it some too. I might need to experiment on the truck sometime inbetween events while I am on the road.
