Looking to make a really clean cut and aviod chipping. Any suggestions on blade type or technique?


Thanks!


route to your finish dimension.

Get a Melamine blade or use your WWII (you DO have one don't you??). Prescore the Melamine with a 1/32" cut, running the stock backwards CAREFULLY. Then raise the blade and make the through-cut in the normal direction. A WWII will leave the top face next to perfect. I'm too cheap myself to get a special Melamine blade, but if I had a paying customer I'd spring for one.
