Laminate Floor 12" Blade Question?
Greetings,
I'm putting in a laminate floor (Pergo Type). One plank measures 8.0" in width. I'll be using a portable parting saw which takes a 12" blade.What type blade would be best for cutting the laminate planks? I've noticed carbide, diamond, and standard tooth saw blades. Also tooth per inch would be helpful. thanks, -tom |
Laminate Floor 12" Blade Question?
Don't use an expensive saw blade! my son used my best blade to cut his
laminate floor on my table saw and ruined it! I had to get it sharpened! use the cheapest carbide blade with roughly 4 teeth per inch for a nice clean cross cut.

Laminate is very tough on blades. Do not waste your money on a steel blade as it will be junk after just a few cuts. |

Get the cheapest blade with carbide tips you can find. If you have a lot of
flooring get 2. It's hell on blades. Plan to toss it when you're done. It won't cut wood - from experience. I ruined a very nice blade like this when I put my floor in.

It won't cut wood - from experience. I ruined a very nice blade like this when I put my floor in. Why toss it? My DeWalt blade that came with my miter saw was used for a laminate job. After the job was done, it barely cut a 2" wide pine board. I sent it to Ridge Carbide and had it sharpened for about $15 and it cuts better than when it was new. A mid-priced blade will do the job and can be made to work well again. |
