These blades were designed to cut steel. They will certainly cut
wood products, but are not meant to provide the cleanest, best cut
in wood. Aluminum cuts quite well with wood cutting blades.
Aluminum oxide is the black stuff you get on your hands from
handling non anodized aluminum. None of which needs the steel
blades. Try one to see if you are getting a nice enough cut for
your needs or just use a blade meant for wood.

I have a Steel Pro 10", 48T saw blade, part #72811. The box says
it's for cutting steel & ferrous metals. I've looked up on the
net, and found this is indeed what the blade is used for. I had
gotten a deal at a garage sale some years ago, and bought 2 of
these blades, unused, in the boxes for $10. I couldn't pass this
up!

Now for my question. I plan on installing some laminate
flooring, which has aluminum oxide in it. Would this blade be a
good one for cutting the laminate?

Thanks.
