I looked through the archives and saw some mention that Witex laminate is hard on saws. I'm using a circular saw (cheap Black & Decker) and a fine finish carbide blade - 40 teeth. I was able to cut only *3* pieces before the blade bound. At this rate I'll have to be paying $6-$7 per row laid of laminate for a 10x10 room. Any recommendations? More powerful saw? Different saw? Different blade?

Took him 3 hours.
