Full kerf is working much better with the 2.3 mm riving knife on my PCS. Cherry still is burning slightly sometimes but nothing like it was when I was struggling to get the wood past the infringing riving knife and thin kerf blade. The blade I put on is an old Freud 50 tooth that was resharpened once by Ridge - it came back better than new. But it is a bit worn. Probably should put on the infinity and see what it does this time. It's only made a few cuts.
I prefer full kerf too but when your saw doesn't want to power it through the wood a thin kerf can be a very practical solution. If I had a 3hp or larger motor, I wouldn't use a thin kerf much if at all. I think they may wobble a little too sometimes but I think the current generation of thin kerf work better than the ones I used 20 years ago. I'm really impressed with the Freud Fusion.
