which blade for this job?

[samohtom]

Hi. I've just finished gluing down a reclaimed teak parquet floor and need to decide which circular saw blade to use to chop round the edge for the border. Thing is because it's parquet the cuts are all angled (neither cross cut nor rip)....so what do I use? The cheapy blades I tried (a 24 tooth tct and a 40T tct which were about £3 each(!) didn't really like it...got some pitch buildup on the blades too. I was thinking spend about £20 on a reasonable blade, is this enough? It's only a cheap circular saw but it's 1200W, with the right blade it should be able to handle it, right?

Thanks,

Tom

heeelllooo and welcome samohtom

you should lay them cut to size for the reason you have found out
clean the blade spray with ptfe dry lube and just keep cleaning and spraying as you go making sure the blade only just breaks through to minimize clogging
