Saw blades normally used for cutting double sided composites are
generally suitable for cutting Formica® Compact grades. Saws of
less than 2 mm in thickness are not recommended. Breakout on the
underside of Compact sheets can be reduced by various methods:
• By the use of a pre-scoring blade on the underside.
• Using a base-board of plywood or hardboard beneath the
Compact sheet.
• Altering the exit angle of the saw blade by adjusting the height
setting.
