   Hi Larry,

   This is the blade that I use on mine and it is great for that purpose: http://www.freudtools.com/p-20-thin-kerf-sliding-compound-miterbr-nbsp.aspx

   That blade is specifically for sliding compound miter saws. If yours is not a slider, you might consider this one: http://www.freudtools.com/p-19-thin-kerf-fine-finish-crosscutbr-nbsp.aspx

   You need a high tooth count, 60 or 80 on a 10" blade, and a low or negative rake angle, 5-degrees to -5-degrees. Alternate Top Bevel tooth patterns provide a great surface on the cut, but dull more quickly than Triple Chip Grind blades. If you're cutting solid wood molding use an ATB. If it's a man-made moulding use the TCG.
