The best way to cut laminate flooring is with either a power mitre saw, or a table saw. Depending on which way you are cutting it. To cut the length, use a power mitre saw, with a 40 tooth+ blade, keeping the "good" or "top" side up. If it's a 3" plank, you can use a 7 1/4" saw, a 5" a 10" saw, and anything bigger you should use a 12" saw. It's dangerous to make a parial cut, then turn the piece around to finish the cut. To "rip" the plank (cut along the length of the plank to make it "skinnier") you'll need to use a table saw, with a guide, and of course the blade guard. THE USE OF POWER SAWS CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, BE CAREFUL, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS, ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION, ALWAYS KEEP YOUR FINGERS AWAY FROM THE BLADE, AND DO NOT RUSH YOUR CUT. IF YOU ARE A NOVICE, NOT FAMILIAR WITH THESE TOOLS, I'D RECOMMEND HIRING A PROFESSIONAL LICENSED FLOORING CONTRACTOR. THE PRICE YOU'D PAY A PRO IS A LOT LESS THAN LOSING A FINGER, OR FINGERS, OR AN EYE, ETC.
