I have a Royobi EWS1150RS circular saw that came with a 170mm 12 tooth blade.

I need to cut down a chipboard kitchen carcass - soft material but needs a clean cut on one side (other side will be covered by end panels, etc).

My instinct is "12 teeth !", now go and look for another finer tooth blade (say 40 or more).

The included blade is this:

It says good for cutting laminate chipboard, etc.
So will this blade be OK ?
Are my insticts about number of teeth wrong due to the speed ?

Never used one with so few teeth! I got a 48-tooth 254mm blade with my mitre saw. Just bought an 80-tooth one so as to get even better cuts. I hope. Not yet tried it - and I tend to cut real timber (and ply, etc.) rather than laminate.
