Yes. I made a dining table and used bamboo flooring for the top. I didn't have the saw then, but had quite a bit of flooring left. I used the saw on the leftovers to make projects and gifts. It does not even notice that it's cutting the bamboo. I have made many, many cuts and the blade is still the original. Always, always cut with the good side down regardless of the material, but bamboo is especially prone to fraying when the blade comes through. Regardless of the tool you are using, the teeth of the blade should be impacting the good side. On this saw and a miter say it would be good side down, on a table saw it would be good side up. If you get this saw, remember it's not just for flooring, it is great for cutting any one-bys for any project. Hope this helps.

I have not personally used it for bamboo, but from all the information I read that came with the saw, it will work on any boards/floor panels that are less than 0.75in thick.

I don't really know about bamboo. We put in the regular wood flooring and it was fabulous!!! It worked like a charm. You might want to contact the company itself and ask them about bamboo.

Yes you can cut bamboo floor, will cut smoth. I use it for cutting ply wood, strips of treated wood, pvc panels and more. The only thing I used mine never on floor and now that I don't need it any more it's getting hard to get rid or it. Almost no body do floors often enough to buy it. Its was more a one job desire. Now is some were inside a tool cart waiting for my next rustic art project. Good luck.

It should work on bamboo floor panels. My floor was a laminate and it didn't have any problems. I recommend you buy an extra blade so you wont be stuck if and when it gets worn out.

I used it against wood stair riser and bamboo flooring. I used a clear drying construction adhesive and pinned it with a finish nailer.

IDK, sorry. It works very well on tile and cement. Probably OK on ordinary wood floors, maybe not so much on exotic woods? Probably fine on bamboo which is tough stuff. If you let the machine stay in one place in an effort to get at some particularly tough dirt, it MAY hurt the varnish. You can get away with that on tile, etc, though. I would say try it and see, better still, read the reviews on Amazon! :)

You can use it on any "sealed" floor, which includes laminate, wood, tile, linoleum etc. If you had a raw wood (say bamboo) with no resin on it over time the water and heat may damage it. But almost every floor now is sealed so it should be no problem. All laminates are sealed, but if you are worried try it in a corner or closet first...

i used it on 5/8" pre-finished bamboo flooring and it did not put scratches on it

Yes. I have bamboo flooring on the main level of my house and have been using the product for about a year.

Yes....we just put down around 700 sq. ft. of 5/8" bamboo and did not have any problem. You will need to get 1-1/2" L cleats to use with the machine. You have to be sure you hold the gun down tightly when you hit it so it doesn't jump and possibly nail too high--which will mark the board. Good machine.....good luck. p.s. Our floor looks great!

I would not recommend using on bamboo, staples are more prone to crack bamboo. For bamboo L Cleats are much better for preventing splits during installation.

No. For laminate floating floors mainly. Would also be fine for tongue and groove flooring as a moisture barrier

It works on my hard wood floor so i think it will work with bamboo. Doesnt slide around or dammage the wood.

Yes, but not very well. This is the light duty model for thin Laminates and Vinyl tile flooring. If you are a professional Wood installer then you need the FLR or Magnum series cutter from Bullet.

Don't know woven strand bamboo. Ie that chair bottoms? This is a workhorse on flooring. Does brads and staples but you might want a smaller gage tool if you are doing furniture rework.

I just used one layer with my bamboo flooring. This paper is really only for moisture control, not padding, but two layers would certainly do no harm.

Yes! I bought it to install oriented strand bamboo flooring which to my knowledge is about the hardest flooring there is and it worked very well with it. It did not miss a beat. I would not hesitate to recommend it for just about any type of hardwood floor.

Yes. The nailer comes with shoe plates for different flooring thickness. 1/2, 5/8, and 3/4 inches. Premium bamboo is usually 5/8" thick. Make sure to set up the nailer properly and nail away. The nailer comes with a good instruction manual. Cheers.

Yes bare floor tools or power head may be used as mine is used on hard wood with the bare floor tool.

Bamboo has about the softest of wood finishes. Since this vacuum cleaner has a revolving brush and very stiff bristles, I wouldn't use it on hardwoods. That's my opinion but I'm not a professional.
