well, then I say "be very careful". I love mine. The thinner the blade, and the corser the blade the better for turning. But whew! it can start a canal on a fingertip. Of course for very straight, hahahahaha, cuts, one can use a blade without many tangential burrs, and feel the side of the blade;. But I get the feeling that my makita likes to run, so I dial it down at any sign of necessity.
Clamped it to the side of my mom's open basement steps and ran a piece of molding between the step and the blade, and surpised both of us with how nicely it made the right size piece of trim.
