Dear experts,
Recently, I had some boards for shelves cut at Home Depot.
They used their plywood cutter. A great invention.
They say that they are not supposed to cut melamine.
One place said that I won't get a smooth edge.
Which was fine for my purposes. Go ahead.
Another place said that melamine ruins the blades.
Does melamine ruin saw blades, or not?
Thanks a lot

Shouldn't a hacksaw go through that stuff? If not, a Dremel Mototool
with the clay cutoff wheel will make easy work of it.

You're kidding, right? This is a joke, right?

No, Melamine does not ruin saw blades. Some blades will not leave a
clean cut in it though.

Long answer - which is harder, melamine (plastic) or steel/carbide?
Steel/carbide.
Short answer - no
Saw blades will ultimately dull when cutting *anything*. They'll dull a
bit faster when cutting particle board (on which is the melamine).
