Default Proper Saw for flooring?

You might want to go with the 12". However you will want to use a good
carbide tipped blade with at least 60 teeth. I do stress carbide tipped,
otherwise the flooring will eat up the blade very quickly.


And even then, you're going to be wearing out a lot of
blades very quickly. The substrate might be cardboard,
but the finish is some sort of very hard ceramic impregnated
resin. I've never seen a blade light up at the contact point
when cutting wood products.
