I have an old Delta 14" that I upgraded the guides to Carter's and I also slightly round the back edge of the blade itself. You can either buy the Carter grind stone or get a very fine stone from the big box store and as the saw is running place the stone on the table and allow the blade to run against the stone and rotate the stone to smooth and round the back of the blade. This will allow a slightly tighter turning radius and will also keep the sharp edge of the blade from hanging up on the wood. I do it to all of my blades when they are first installed
