Best jigsaw blade for engineered wood flooring

longwalks1

Will soon be laying some engineered wood flooring (15mm thick) and was wondering what type of jigsaw blade will be best for cutting around corners and for the radiator pipes etc please?

20mm spade bit and Bosch clean cut for wood blades (t101b).

As above, t101b is a good all round blade, or go for the t101br if you'd rather cut from the surface.

thanks guys, and any tips on cutting the engineered flooring planks? Am worried about cutting it and chipping a huge chunk of the top layer off

if cutting from the surface of the plank then do as Reece_ says and use a down cutting blade which is what the t101b(r) is, if cutting from the back then just use a .standard blade. Though to be honest I always cut from the top surface with a regular blade and have never had problems, just don't use too coarse a blade

Even if it does chip it won't be seen as it will be covered by skirting or beading.
