90 teeth Diablo blade works perfect. It is above my expectations. It was exactly what I wanted. It slides chipboards and melamine as if you can butter with a knife.
I haven't tried the other one yet.
Before I used general 80 teeth Bosch blade which is also recommended to cut MDF and melamine. It can be used but you should have a super powerful dust extractor or a system. So if you have the same task have a close look at the above mentioned blade.

I have AKE triple chip tooth blade and it cuts pretty flawlessly in melamine. Its pretty dirty too (though still sharp). I dont use a zero clearance plate or anything. Its not something you can get off the shelf at a tool shop though. I think my father bought it through the saw sharpening guy but there would be AKE reps around.
Those who have used panel saws a lot - is there a need for triple chip tooth blades if you have a scriber?

The Melbourne AKE distributor is on Chesterville Rd Moorabbin, they do sharpening as well.
If you have a scriber you can use whatever blade you want, the scriber is set to be 0.1mm wider than the main blade so there's no chipping on the bottom

Hi. I'm in NZ and have been looking at the Leuco blade range for the same application. I bought a 10" triple chip recently for a Griggio dimension saw which I had access to, (until Dec 20th when I got laid off)! The table insert had 5mm clearance on the sliding table side and about 10mm on the parallel fence side, so there was no support for the melamine adjacent to the blade. Despite that, the finish was absolutely perfect on both sides.
There are a few options from other manufacturers - but this is the one I bought. Here's the label that was on the sleeve;

Hi Caligula. I too have had to cut plenty of melamine for cabinets and my table saw does not have a scribing blade. I bought the following blade from Carbatec
CMT Industrial Fine Cut-Off Blade - 250mm - 80 Tooth | Carbatec
and it cut without any chipping whatsoever. You can also order reducing rings to get the 30 mm hole to match your arbour size (mine is 5/8"). The secret lies in the 40° angle to the teeth that creates a knife like point and the alternating bevel. I also have made plywood table inserts to close up the gap around the blade. I have found their mail order system to be pretty good. Hppe this is not too late to be helpful
