I am not sure a thin kerf blade is the answer? The thinner the blade, the less heat it resist, so the chance of overheating and warping a blade is greater. In mfg, the blades are often thicker, but it takes little more power to do the job.

Judging from what you are saying, a 10" industrial grade saw is needed (3 hp Power or SawStop). Forget those Bosch or Makita table top, or job site saws, they wouldn't last too long cutting rough stuff like that. Make a jig, to a certain angle for your stakes, then run the big jig along the miter gauge slots. You can cut new points for one stake in about 5-8 seconds. This way its safe, the operator's fingers are far away from the blade. I am talking about a jog the size of the table top. I will try and find a video for you.
