Cutting pre-finished flooring-dullblade?

I recently dulled the blade on my compound miter saw by cutting laminate flooring.
I now need to cut some pre-finished hardwood flooring, and I’m wondering if I should use an old blade for fear of dulling my new one. The hardwood flooring has an aluminum oxide finish. I imagine it’s not as thick and dull-inducing as the finishin on laminate flooring, but how bad is it?

go buy the cheapest carbide blade yo can find at the BBs. Lowes has a house brand called firestorm that would fit the bill. When you finish the job throw out the blade.

One laminate floor and your blade either goes for sharpening or the trash. You can probably do 2 or 3 prefinished hardwood installs with the same blade.

I think there are people over in the business folder wanting to talk to you.
I'm thinking info is going to be hard to come by around here, good luck.

I can't figure why he won't come clean on one problem before asking for more help.
Looks like the words out now !!
Let's see if I can shed some light on the situation.
Now where did sparky put that light switch...?

I would say ask the electrician to come over, but he would probably add HW through out the house while you were out.
every cut you make ...
no matter what the material ...
dulls the blade.
some faster than others.
and a dull blade is either tossed or sharpened.
me ... new project ... means new blade.
if you don't want to dull the new blade ...
never install it.
this is like saying the new project will use nails ...
and you'd like to save the nails you have.
