Rant: I was using the wrong blade on my miter saw for years until a contractor in Austin pointed it out.
I was cutting pine trim with a 40-tooth framing blade for like 3 years, making rough cuts and wondering why my joints never looked clean, until a guy helping me on a bathroom remodel asked why I wasn't using a fine-finish blade.

Oh man. That's like trying to butter toast with a chainsaw. Bet your cuts look amazing now.

Disagree completely... a good 40-tooth blade is plenty for trim if you know how to use it. I've seen guys do perfect crown molding cuts with basic framing blades, it's all about feed rate and a steady hand. Blaming the tool is a crutch, honestly. That contractor just wanted to sell you a new blade you probably didn't need.
