Anyone have any experience with the inch and a eighth tooth spacing

The 1 1/8" blade that WM offers works well in soft wood but I don't find that it works as well as 7/8" tooth space in hardwood.
Two LT70s, Nyle L200 kiln, 4 head Pinheiro planer, 30" double surface Cantek planer, Lucas dedicated slabber, Slabmizer, and enough rolling stock and chainsaws to keep it all running.

I was hoping to take a bigger chip that would stay in the gullet better in wide dead pine

Smiles and big dead pine usually do not go together, but that is sure what I'm after

I use a simonds that has a 1" tooth spacing and I really like it. I really like the deeper gullet. I would like to try that woodmizer blade with the 1 1/8 spacing as well. All I cut is pine. I think those wider tooth spacings would be to aggresive in hard wood.
