In order to cut bamboo planks to sizes, we need a miter saw, we had an old one from Harbor Freight Tools many years ago, the blade was rusted and dull, we got one from Amazon for a very low price with fast shipping from Prime. The Overpeak blade was so good, it cuts wood and bamboo planks like butter, we really liked it. After 3 rooms of bamboo planks and base boards, the blade is still functioning well. It’s quite easy to replace, just make sure the lock on the other side to keep the blade from turning while unbolting the bolt, Counter Clockwise is to BOLT and Clock Wise is UNBOLT (quite unconventional but all saw blades are the same way).
