The Veritas is 14 TPI. . .I can't imagine that 12 TPI would make that worse of a cut, but might be a little faster.
Just curious, though. . .what's "too much work" for crosscutting? My Veritas makes pretty short work of hickory. I mean, I don't expect it to cut it like a panel saw, but at the same time, as long as it's waxed up and I can keep the blade in the cut, it's a pretty quick little saw, and that's cutting through 2 inches of hickory 3.5 inches wide.
