What is the best way to cut laminate flooring?

• Use a table saw and fine-toothed, carbide-tipped blades.
• Use a jigsaw with carbide-tipped blades for corner cuts.
• Have extra blades available. Laminate is hard on blades and dulls them quickly.
• After making your cutting mark, line it with blue painter’s tape to prevent the laminate from chipping off along the cut.
• Rent a jamb saw if you’re cutting laminate for doorways. It will save you hours of cutting time.
