Hi all, one simple question.
I have to cut a straight line in a piece of laminated wood. Should I
use the orbital motion or not? The wood is about 1 1/2" thick and
about 24 inches wide and I'd like to have a clear cut since this is
going to be my next laminated kitchen countertop.

Someone also suggested me to use blades intented for metal instead of
wood as they are more "gentle" when biting into the laminated wood,
can you confirm this?

thanks in advance, I don't have a lot of familiarity with these tools
