No support on either side of the blade?
Is not good for the blade.

?I am confused by the air slot feature.? The work piece being cut has effectively zero clearance and air flow is limited by the kerf in the piece and by the tooth gullet carrying waste.? Saw teeth kind of pump air and waste down into the dust collection below the table.? The only dust above the work piece is brought there by the blade gullet rotating back up thru the piece which did not completely clear.? Adding air slots would would not open air flow and only diminish support by otherwise zero clearance making the insert less effective at preventing tear out.?
Of course, this is only true in general terms.? More dust will be produced as more blade is exposed above the work.? And if you just want to shave half a blade thickness off an edge to clean things up, shit's gonna go everywhere.
