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).

+1. Coarse blades cut faster but rough.
Triple chip blades give a better finish per number of teeth.
