The quality of your floor is highly dependent on clean, square cuts on the laminate strips. If you look closely at the picture at the top of the page you can see how exact the fit is between then ends of the laminate strips. To do that consistently you need a saw that will let you do square cuts and a sharp carbide tipped saw blade for smooth cuts. You will be really sorry if you mess up this part of the job.
Don’t use a saw like this guy is!
I’m surprised he still has all ten fingers! Saws should have blade guards and operators should be wearing goggles and earmuffs. This guy has enough experience he can make a square cut from a line he drew on the board. Less experienced workers would do well to have some kind of guide. Actually, a chop saw would be a better tool for this project.
