Skil - SKL-75536 SKIL 75536 Carbide Flooring Blade, 4-3/8"

Great blades!

I use these blades all the time and they tend to last pretty long.

Cuts very well

This seems to be a manufacturers upgrade! Works a bit smother than the blade that originally came with the saw. I am betting it has to be the extra teeth.

The Skil Flooring saw does everything you need to do for flooring. The only quirk is when working with a wider board when you are doing a multiple rip cut you are limited in how much you can cut off - 4.25" or so - it's hard to explain but here goes: I had a few boards that needed to ripped down but at two different widths (doorways) so the first half was 3" and the second half was say 5". I would not be able to do the 3" cut because I can't have more then 4.25" on the other side of the blade with my 8" board - therefore I flip it over and risk fraying the edge.As a whole this was an awesome tool for me, a DIY, and my laminate flooring project.Some tips - get some scrap wood and check your 90 degree mitre with a square and make sure your fence is straight. I adjusted the 90 degree mitre right away and I checked my fence but I found that I had to adjust the fence a few times during the project as I never got it just right.Buy a blade per 150 sq ft of laminate. I probably could have gone through at least 3 for the 600 sq ft of laminate that I installed.

Great balance of price to blade life. If you have not cut flooring before and are cutting engineered hardwood / pergo etc.... you will find out quickly that it is very tough stuff ! Blade performs very well on Pergo XP and bamboo. In fact, it appears to last about as long as $25.00 makita blade. I'd expect to cut at least 150-200 Square feet with numerous rips before having to change blades IF you are "gentle" with the saw. This of course will vary greatly with material.A few tips -Do yourself a favor and order a COUPLE OF BLADES if you are doing multiple rooms ! It will save a trip to the local hardware store where you will probably pay 2-4 x as much for comparable blades.Don't "push" the saw - this will cause the blade to get too hot and dull quickly. CUT SLOWLY and let the blade do it's job.How do I know the blade is shot ? - You will know. Higher resistance + you will likely be setting off smoke detectors and wondering what is on fire. It's the blade overheating and scorching the sides of the cut.

Fits perfect and is of good quality. Light weight and has the power to cut through laminate with ease. I'll be buying more

It work perfectly
