Diablo PergoBlade Saw Blade for Laminate and Wood Flooring - 12" Diameter, 16-Teeth, 1" Arbor, .087" Kerf, 10° Hook Angle, .063" Plate, 5000 Max RPM - D1216LF

I installed 600 sq ft of 12mm laminate flooring and 15 step stairs. The blade cut as good on the last piece as the first piece. This blade cut like butter ripping laminate on my table saw.

Having worn out other fine cut blades installing a laminate in the past, I went looking for something that would last longer. I'm glad I found this blade. I used it to install 320 sf of 12mm Mohawk laminate and it was cutting just as fast and clean on the final board as it did on the first. With other blades, I usually notice them starting to slow down and have more friction by that point, with some chipout. Not this blade. Worth the price.

I have been installing almost 2000 sq. ft. of laminate and going through carbide blades. The Aqua Gard laminate floor brand has quartz in the core and is very dense. It quickly dulled all blades I used for chopping in my miter saw and the blade in my table saw for ripping. This blade however cuts through high density laminate flooring like BUTTER and it stays sharp! I can't believe this doesn't come more highly recommended. A must have if you are installing laminate flooring.

I used a standard 80 tooth carbide blade in my miter saw for several projects and when starting the cut you could feel the blade struggling to get through the laminate surface to begin the cut. Even when newly sharpened you could feel the resistance to getting through the surface of the laminate although it was just fine for wood. The latest project done with this blade was only a single room, but the cuts were effortless for the entire project. I have several rooms to go so time will tell how it holds up.

I have been using this blade for laying composite flooring down throughout my home. We also used the same blade on my parents flooring.When we originally started laying my parents flooring, we just used a 80T blade which lasted a bit. It got dull and we got another (Blade # 2). By blade number 3, we bought this blade. WHAT A DIFFERENCE.The cuts were way faster and way cleaner than a standard blade. Have not had the blade dull on me yet.Only thing negative I can say is cost is higher for this blade; however the life it gives makes it well worth it.If your getting into a floor job, I would plan on getting one of these for your saw.

This is a pricey blade and I was a bit skeptical about it working well but man was i wrong. Zero chip out on the laminate I have been cutting. I mean zero! Edges of wood are clean and sharp even after cutting 1500sq. Feet. The blade also slices through 12mm thick laminate like a hot knife in butter with not even a hint of a burn mark. Just for comparison I cut a few boards with a 60t, 80t, and 100t carbide quality blades and each of those cut much much slower than this one, each left burn marks in the laminate, and each had varying degrees of chip out. I will not even think twice about using any other blade to cut laminate ever!!

Great product. Cuts laminate flooring well and does not dull quickly.

It’s great, easy to install and cuts beautifully when I did my laminate vinyl flooring.
