You should always take care to use PPE for respiratory inhalation of saw dust with this product or any other wood products.
This video is using a Bosch 60-tooth 12 inch blade. This is a cross cut demonstration. The bamboo fibers run up and down the length of the board. The plunge from the center is optimal for clean cut surface edges. All chop saws do this. Blades with 60 to 80 teeth are known as cross-cutting and provides a finer cut and seem optimal for the job.
A general rule of thumb is that you need to have not less than two teeth and not more than four teeth in the material you’re chopping. Images arriving soon. THis will allow you to calibrate saw diameter to tooth count.
