This message board is the best by far on the web. I really enjoy all the experts chiming in. I want to pick your brains again on my bamboo floor! My flooring was delivered today and I noticed that the boxes had all perfectly sized pieces of floor, usually there are small pieces and large
(Lengths), so I take it there will be lots of cutting involved. For bamboo what type of power miter saw blade is best for cutting bamboo? I'm worried when I cut, it will splinterT

hanks again

I like the Freud Diablo Fine Finish Blades. You can get them at Home Depot.

As long as it is a 60 tooth blade you'll be fine.

The $9.99, 10" - carbide 60 tooth blades, I get at Harbor Freight Tools, last longer then those expensive Diablo blades.

If your flooring is plank style, a sliding compound miter saw. If they are 4" or less boards, then a good 10" regular compound miter saw works good.

Your going to need a table saw for the long rip cuts and tricky inside corner cuts, and your going to need an undercut saw for the doorjambs and cases.
