Would this blade work well for cutting bamboo flooring with an aluminum oxide finish?

The blade is made for cutting wood. It will surely cut the bamboo part of the floor. The aluminum finish might wear the blade faster then wood cutting.

I am not an expert on what you are cutting, I cut oak. Just ask yourself, if this blade doesn't cut it, what's the alternative?

I've used this blade to trim down hollow core doors with perfect results. Make sure to use a staightedge. Also you might want to wear a dust mask, the composite material tends do make really fine dust.

I used it for concrete siding and it works great. I would think it would cut flooring no problem. Just keep using the stone on the blade regularly. Good luck. This is worth every cent great tool for the money

It will but not easily. I purchasing for the same thing and because the tiles were very small I frequently cut my fingers. Wasn't long before I went out and bought a wet tile saw which is what I should have done in the first place. This cutter is best used for solid one-piece tiles.

I have used it to cut foam core up to 1/2" for my interior design boards, but that's as thick as I've had occassion to cut. I believe you can adjust the depth of the blade up to an inch though.

No, this blade is not suitable for wood. It will likely cut it but not as well as a blade that is made for cutting wood. This blade is for cutting aluminum and non ferrous metals. You sill likely find a carbide tipped blade for cutting wood for a bit cheaper also.

Yes. I made a dining table and used bamboo flooring for the top. I didn't have the saw then, but had quite a bit of flooring left. I used the saw on the leftovers to make projects and gifts. It does not even notice that it's cutting the bamboo. I have made many, many cuts and the blade is still the original. Always, always cut with the good side down regardless of the material, but bamboo is especially prone to fraying when the blade comes through. Regardless of the tool you are using, the teeth of the blade should be impacting the good side. On this saw and a miter say it would be good side down, on a table saw it would be good side up. If you get this saw, remember it's not just for flooring, it is great for cutting any one-bys for any project. Hope this helps.

Yeah, although I wouldn't recommend it, I would go with the tojiro utility blade, for a quicker breakdown and more precise cuts

This blade will cut aggressively bricks, concrete blocks, stones, paver tales, and so on, but not ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles, glass, etc. If you try to cut these kind of tiles with it the edges will chip and will make a very rough cut.

It should be fine. Take your time cutting though, let the blade do the work. I used it to cut 2x3 glass tiles, it did wonderful. Bear in mind, the smaller the tile the harder to hold in place while cutting.

Until I got a stacked dado set I used these blades to cut dadoes. It should work fine. Note that cross grain cuts in Oak can leave "fuzzy" edges, but that's the case also with a regular dado blade.

No. This is just for wood/laminate flooring purposes. I suppose if you find a tile blade that would fit the saw it would work for tile u to a certain thickness. As it is boxed it will not cut tile.

I don't really know about bamboo. We put in the regular wood flooring and it was fabulous!!! It worked like a charm. You might want to contact the company itself and ask them about bamboo.

Sir! I used this little machine in solid pine and 1/4" plywood where the cut quality did not matter. Seems to be cutting ok., but you might need to change the blade to get better cut, such as more tooth on the blade.

Don't know if the saw will work or not. We like the job it does on our log projects. However, I would think you would need a metal cutting blade to cut aluminum.

Absolutely it will work! You can fiddle with the pressure from the compressor to lighten the blow mentioned by Eric in his answer. For bamboo, I personally use a MIIIfc (cleater) for bamboo and prefinished flooring. The foot should be used to keep from damaging prefinished floor by having a slightly off side to side angle.

Hello Diane, Yes, this tool would be great for the job you described. It even comes with a tile cutting blade. Hope that helps!
