A SawmillCreek member recently asked his fellow creekers about the right tool for cutting laminate flooring. He’s eyeing a miter saw in the $300 range, but is open to other suggestions. Most notable in his questions: 1) Do you recommend a good blade for my Circular or get a Compound Miter Saw for the cross cuts?

When I was doing laminate flooring I used a 12 chop with an 80 tooth carbide blade. I tracked the blade wear and consumption for a time. On average the blade was shot after every 240 square feet of installation. A 10 table saw blade 60 tooth would last for several jobs.

This may surprise you, but the best saw blade for laminate flooring is an aluminum cutting blade. Here are the reasons: An aluminum cutting blade is made to take the impact of cutting hard materials and laminate flooring is about as hard as aluminum.

Saw Blade recommendation for Laminate Flooring. I the next year I will be putting down 1500-2000 sq-ft of laminate flooring. I have a 12 Miter and 10 table saw. Any recommendations on blades.

Re: Best Blade For Cutting Laminate. I wouldn't waste a 12 blade on a laminate floor. It is bad enough wasting a 10 blade. I go with Harbor Freight 10 blades @$20 a piece.

Laminate flooring will ruin a blade in seconds----save your good ones for the trim. All cuts are hidden by trim so cut quality is not terribly important. Use a medium quality (read cheap ish) blade----I like to use a cutting box and a Skill Saw--but if you don't mind forking out for a couple of 12 blades then use the chop saw.

This may surprise you, but the best saw blade for laminate flooring is an aluminum cutting blade. An aluminum cutting blade is made to take the impact of cutting hard materials and laminate flooring is about as hard as aluminum. Rather than having sharp points on the carbide tips like an ATB wood blade, that will dull quickly, it's a triple chip grind. It will stay sharp and continue cutting well much longer.
