Thread: Blade for laminate flooring

I'll be installing a laminate floor this weekend, first time. What brand/tooth count blade is best to use? I'll be using a 10" cut off saw.

A Gold Dollar,,,

Sorry, I just had to. I don't know what blade to use.

Diablo, hands down. Best power blades I've used to minimize tear out.

Good luck.

I don't remember the blade I used, but I do remember that it was toast afterwards. Whatever material they use on the top of the flooring I used is some tough stuff! I HIGHLY recommend using safety shield for this project. Most of my house is now laminated flooring. High tooth count and carbide tips are my main recommendation for the blade.

Floor is done, I used a 60 tooth count cheap Irwin blade. Made it through the whole project, trim and 330 sq foot floor, with the one blade. It is now scrap metal lol.

If you watch when you cut that stuff, there's small sparks that come off the top surface. My experience too is your blade should be trashed or sharpened afterwards cause it'll be toast.

My Cane Corso absalutly trashed myoak hardwood floor in my old house. I was almost embarrassed to sell my house it was so bad. My new house has some very nice laminate on the main floor, and I was very happy it was there.

Now on the other hand, I finished my basement in the old house and by the time I got to buying the flooring I was almost out of $$$. So I bought .99 cent a square foot laminate..... Big, big mistake. First glass of water my daughter spilled made it mushroom soooo bad.

Lesson learned.
