My miter saw blade chipped halfway through a big crown molding job
It happened yesterday afternoon on a house in the suburbs, right when I had about 20 more cuts to go. I was using a 60-tooth Diablo blade that was maybe 8 months old, but I guess I hit a hidden knot or something. The chip threw off the cut line completely and I had to stop everything. Had to run to the supply house for a new blade, which set me back almost $90. How often do you guys actually change out your finish blades before they go bad?

Man that sucks, especially on crown. When you say a year, is that with heavy daily use or just weekend projects? I'm trying to figure out if I'm just pushing mine too hard. My last one chipped on some oak trim, felt like it went way faster than it should have.
