I use a tenryu PP-20360AB. I have tried a lot of blades and this was the first blade that gave me really good results without backing the panel up. I think I paid around 55 dollars .

Hi
You need to buy what's called a Hi ATB blade. These blades slice their way through. It's the blade used by cabinets shops that do not have scoring. They were real popular on vertical panel saws, not having scoring. I have never used one under 10 inches. Check out this site is has some real good information on blades. http://www.generalsaw.com/index.html

Only down side is that they, go dull faster so only use them on your high end veneers and melamine
