Good morning. I hope y'all can help me with some suggestions.
I have a Ridgid 3650, 1.5 hp contractor saw. I've got two blades, a Ridgid R1060c (60 tooth, ATB, thin kerf) which is a little dull and a Freud LU87 (24 tooth, Flat grind, thin kerf) which is almost brand new.
I'm going to build a simple make-up table for my kid using BORG white melamine shelving, exactly like this Lumberjocks project: http://lumberjocks.com/projects/33646
I realize an LU96r (80 tooth, TCG, thin kerf) is the correct tool for the job, but a new saw blade is not in the budget.
Unfortunately, I don't think I'll have enough waste material to make practice cuts. Which of my two blades would y'all recommend? Any tips or tricks for cutting melamine?
Thanks.
