Aaron, that's a very good theory, and the shape of the teeth and saw marks would support that.
The manual that came with the blade emphasized using higher rpm for better results.
I'll have to explore some more when I get to the shop on the weekend.
I looked at some more of AKE's product materials and they really boast about the quality of the cut being equal to a planer ("Hobelschnitt"). So I hope it's down to technique that I could improve.
Can anyone take a close-up picture on some of the teeth of these diamond type blades?

THEORY:? I am thinking that it's not the kerf size that is causing your saw mark problems.? I think the size of the teeth on the diamond blades are so tiny that it's not able to smooth out the saw marks.?
?
On a standard blade, the sides of the teeth are very straight and tall (like about 1/4" tall).? I think these tall flat-edged teeth are helping to shave the edge of the wood as it cuts into the material itself.? It acts somewhat like a jointer knife which creates a flat non-marked surface.
?
What do you guys think?
