Would this be a suitable saw/blade combination for cutting laminate flooring for a small bedroom? Wont need to cut more than 40-50 planks.

Yes.. The only thing you may want to do is buy a different blade, something more suitable for laminate wood. The saw itself would work perfectly though. We use it for cutting everything from sheets of plywood for home improvement projects to piping to redo our water lines.

This would be a good saw for that type cutting..it's very easy to use and I really like the ease to adjust the saw
211803
The saw would do the job but the blade would need to change to a finer cutting edge.

If this is the one that came with it----the answer would be NO. wouldn't be a smooth cut and you would not like it

I think this saw would have no problem cutting laminate flooring. But make sure you use the right blade and cut it upside down or it will chip.

You can also use painter's tape over where your cut will be to minimize chipping, fraying of the laminate integrity.

Do a practice cut first with the blade to see your result..chipping is a possibility..the saw itself can handle the task but the blade you choose to use may need to be tuned to the type of material you cut..several different blades are available for this saw.

You certainly could use this to cut out a small section of plywood, but if you are talking about slicing off big pieces then you are better off using a circular saw or something else bigger.

Sure, withthe proper blade it would be fine. Keep in mind that this type of saw is really not meant for a stright line cut and depending on the thickness of the material vs. the blade, the blade can wander off course.

The Tool Cuts 8 Inch laminate Reasonably Well. I Did Not Have Attached Pad, However I Don't Think The Blade Will Have Any Issues Will Cutting The foam.

I think that would depend on the thickness of the material, how much you have to cut, and desired finish of cut. However this saw will indeed slice through sheet metal very cleanly! I personally love mine and would recommend it to you!

I don't know. I am pleased with the saw and have had no problems with it. Certainly for the price I consider is a good purchase. I purchased it for another project but had a contractor who used it to install over 1200 sq ft of laminate flooring in my home. You need to make sure the fence is correctly aligned. It is not an the same as an expensive table saw, but if you are careful in the setup it will do a good job.

I would only use this for cuts that are needed to be clean. You could cut 2x4s with it, but if you don't need super clean cuts, I would go with a cheaper blade.

I just laid laminate flooring planks in my downstairs rec room and this saw was perfect for it. The person at Lowe's talked me out of the SKil flooring saw into this one and I'm glad he did, as I can use this table saw for other projects around the house.

I've cut 2" sch 40 a handful of times. I believe it would do what you want no problem. As long as you don't try to cut too fast, just let the saw do the work, the blade should hold up. Cutting slow with this saw is still 3x faster than an abrasive.

Yes it will, make sure to use a wood blade. Again it's a jig saw, if you re going to be cutting a lot of particle board, and depending on the project you may want to consider a circular saw or a table saw, again it's depending on how big the project is... The jig saw is for making round cuts and more detailed cuts, if you re just making straight cuts and a lot of them a circular saw is what you'll want.. I hope that helps

I would say definitely yes. I used one to cut about 1,200sq ft of laminate flooring which is much denser than pressure treat.

Rich, I cut 12 inch tiles on this great saw. But I had to mark the tiles with a pencil and take the guard off. You should be able to do the same. don't rush your cut because the saw will slow down on you. I did my kitchen floor and it turned out great! I had to wear a full face shield and took a garbage bag and cut holes it in for my head & arms because the saw really throws allot of water. I still would use the saw though. Take your time on the cuts and you will be fine.

Yes, if you're careful and patient. I used this saw to put together a model train table for my kids and did quite a few flush cuts in the process. I have sliced things as thin as 1/8" using this saw.

Probably would, but it would be slow going requiring a lot of strength. Its a good knife but I don't think its that good. I would try a small saw.

My only experience with this dado blade is with pine and it worked flawlessly over a long period of time while I was making shiplap siding, I would imagine it would work very well with hardwoods too, plywood...not really sure. It's a very high quality blade.

I have used it on oak and maple flooring a lot, that's why I bought it. It works great, albeit much slower than a circular saw. I typically use it to end cut individual boards to weave new sections in to old sections. End cut the board and then split it with a chisel and remove it. Also used it to cut in new flush thresholds, a similar cut to your cabinet cut. Like any saw, it works best with new blades. Hit a flooring nail, which are typically hardened nails, and you will trash the blade right away. Cost of doing business.

yes, i have used it to cut hardwood flooring when installing a floor level threshold to an exising floor. You do have to use a guide for a perfectly straight cut
