Recommend an circular saw blade for the perfect cut

HI can you guys please recommend what to look out for in a blade to
made the perfect smooth cut? I am an end user so cutting speed or a
lasting blade isnt important. Whats really important is a blade that
can cut plywood + wood very smoothly. Also is it possible to cut
laminate with it? I am having a 6" makita cutter with a 60 tooth ATB
carbide tipped blade, looking for something that can cut nicer :)
thanks in advance

you're going to have a limited choice of blades for that 6" machine and
you'll pay more for what you do find. move up to 7-1/4" and the choices
and prices are better

a good quality atb blade will make a smooth cut in ply and solids and
last well doing it. use an edge guide and feed slowly.

for laminate, melamine and such, use a melamine blade, and don't use
that blade for anything else.

Get a Forrest blade, I gave my jointer away
because they so smooth you don't need one.

Yeah, all that's great, but I've yet to see a blade that does windows.

But now YOU forgot wax the car, mow the lawn, and unclog toilets!

In fact, I'm getting rid of ALL of my other possessions, as I can do
everything with Forrest blades.

I'll now head back into the shop to spray lacquer with a WWII.

My Forrest blades vacuum the shop, do the laundry, and walk on water,
so I can't see why they can't flatten boards.

Your's don't?

That's right, it filets, it chops
It dices, slices, never stops
lasts a lifetime, mows your lawn
And it mows your lawn
and it picks up the kids from school
It gets rid of unwanted facial hair
it gets rid of embarrassing age spots
It delivers a pizza
and it lengthens, and it strengthens
And it finds that slipper that's been at large
under the chaise longe for several weeks
And it plays a mean Rhythm Master
It makes excuses for unwanted lipstick on your collar
And it's only a dollar, step right up
it's only a dollar, step right up

'Cause it forges your signature.
If not completely satisfied
mail back unused portion of product
For complete refund of price of purchase
Step right up
Please allow thirty days for delivery
don't be fooled by cheap imitations
You can live in it, live in it
laugh in it, love in it
Swim in it, sleep in it
Live in it, swim in it
laugh in it, love in it
Removes embarrassing stains from contour sheets
that's right
And it entertains visiting relatives
it turns a sandwich into a banquet
Tired of being the life of the party?
Change your shorts
change your life
change your life
Change into a nine-year-old Hindu boy
get rid of your wife
And it walks your dog, and it doubles on sax
Doubles on sax, you can jump back Jack
see you later alligator
See you later alligator
And it steals your car
It gets rid of your gambling debts, it quits smoking
It's a friend, and it's a companion
And it's the only product you will ever need
Follow these easy assembly instructions
it never needs ironing
Well it takes weights off hips, bust
thighs, chin, midriff
Gives you dandruff, and it finds you a job
it is a job
And it strips the phone company free
take ten for five exchange
And it gives you denture breath
And you know it's a friend, and it's a companion
And it gets rid of your traveler's checks
It's new, it's improved, it's old-fashioned
Well it takes care of business
never needs winding
Never needs winding
never needs winding
Gets rid of blackheads, the heartbreak of psoriasis
Christ, you don't know the meaning of heartbreak, buddy
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
'Cause it's effective, it's defective
it creates household odors
It disinfects, it sanitizes for your protection
It gives you an erection
it wins the election
Why put up with painful corns any longer?
It's a redeemable coupon, no obligation
no salesman will visit your home
