I've been cutting a lot of baltic birch ply for my current project, and my original 48 tooth had been doing fine, but is probably a bit blunt now, and maybe as a result on long rip cuts there can be splintering. This was especially the case when cutting a 45 degree bevel with the grain.
However I have used the 20 tooth (496302 - "universal saw blade for all wooden materials, all building panels...") recently and found it cuts faster and just as cleanly, and performs better on the rip. I don't know if it is just because it is newer, or because of the blade design, but it just works better compared to my older 48 tooth.
