Being that Cumaru is one of the hardest woods, what kind of blade should I use that will last a while and give a nice clean cut?

Any high quality THIN KERFED carbide tipped blade. There are lots of good brands. Forrest "Woodworker" is tops, but expensive.

Freud makes good blades at a moderate price,

So does Makita and Dewalt. The best bang for your buck is Marathon blades by Irwin. Not top of the line but good enough for flooring and last a long time. A 10" blade with 40 teeth is less than $30.00.

The more teeth, the finer the cut but the blades will cost more and cutting will be slower.
This blade here would probably do you just fine without breaking the bank.

If you have a Harbor Freight Tools near by, They have 10 " 60 tooth on sale about once a month $9.99 each.

I have not bought an expensive blade, that will outlast them.

I know I've had the blade on my table saw now, since before Christmas. I just did a laminate repair this morning, a DIY'er had all messed up, and he commented how it cut like butter, unlike his POS that chipped the edges all up.

Perry,
I was checking out their web site and couldn't believe how low the prices were! :shock: Are those saw blades thin kerf? It doesn't say on their site. I prefer a thin kerf blade over the old standard thicker blades.
