Can You Cut Melamine

To cut melamine or laminate boards without chipping, your saw must be equipped with a double-sided laminate / melamine blade. These blades are specially designed for cutting and at the same time minimize chipping. Before making your cuts, get your table sawed as best you can.

How do you cut melamine without cracking it?

The melamine finish chips easily when cut, especially if you’re using an everyday saw blade. But you can largely avoid chipping by investing in a special blade that’s designed to cut plastic materials. The teeth on these blades are less angled, which helps prevent chipping.

What is the best saw blade for melamine?

The recommended blade for cutting the finished board products is the Bosch 10″ 80 tooth carbide blade or with a hand-held circular saw, a 100 tooth 5-1/2″ blade (iffy as results will show, but may be good enough).
