Whilst cutting down, to manageable sizes, melamine chipboard I noticed the chips on the cut edges. Does anyone have any tips so as not to chip the edges or is it all down to the correct saw blade.
Are you using a circular saw?
If so
1. Score the cut line first with a stanley knife.
2. Cut in two passes.
3. Buy a Festool

48T TCT. Would it be better if I changed the blade.

Actually the EZ Smart rails will pretty much match it for chip-out. I have had zero chip-out with my rails on melamine. At a fraction of the cost.
