The blade that it comes with will cut crown molding very smoothly without any marks, it is almost not worth the hassle of switching it out for a high tooth blade. Speaking of changing the blade, it is a tiny pain but all you need to do is stick a little piece of wood or something to prop up the guard while you are swapping it out, not a big deal at all and certainly not a reason to pass up on this saw.
All in all a great saw and best of all it is relatively light so it is easy to carry it outside and make a mess outdoors rather than in your basement.
