If anyone out there is looking for a blade to cut melamine laminate, this one is the way to go. I used this blade to make several
base cabinets for two bathroom projects using double sided melamine laminated chip board. The performance was excellent as advertised.
Absolutely zero chipping on either the top or bottom surface. I did make and use a new zero clearance insert for my table saw, which
I think is the only way to get maximum performance from this blade. The blade did show some signs of slowing down after cutting up (10)
2' x 8' sheets, but still performed flawlessly. As for dados, I cut right & left sides of the slot to depth with this blade and then
used my stacked dado set to finish them up. Again, no chipping whatsoever. Incredible blade for a specific purpose. I will save this
blade to cut laminates only and nothing else. It can also be used to cut plywood with great results ( I tried several test cuts just
to check performance ). A little pricey, but worth it if you need chipp free cutting of laminated chip board or plywood.

This blade cut through both melamine and MDF that I attached laminate to with ease, and left a very clean edge on both sides of the material. Tear-out was virtually non-existent. I generally buy only Freud blades because of their superior quality, and this blade is no exception.

This blade cut through with little or no tear-out on the back side of the wood. It was the perfect choice for use on crown molding, as it left such a clean cut when done.
