It will work for the few rips you must do also. Plan to have the blade sharpened after the job is done. Laminate is very tough on saws. |

You want a carbide saw with 60 teeth to 80 teeth. Laminate is somewhat
abrasive so the trade off will be blade durability vs a smooth crosscut. Longest lasting will be a tripple chip grind, smoothest cutting will be high alternate top bevel. Were it me I would try a 60 tooth atb first and adjust my selection from there.

Any suggestions? regards, Steve A cheap, carbide tipped, 40 tooth, 7.25" circular saw blade is the way to go: 1. At a few bucks each they're disposable 2. You don't need the cuting depth of a full 10" blade 3. Lower rim speed and less momentum make it a touch safer in the event of kickback 4. Half the kerf means half the dust and laminate creates some nasty dust! 5. You won't be destryoing a decent blade |
