Old timer told me to wet my blade for vinyl cuts
Had a 30 year veteran installer at my last job tell me to keep a spray bottle handy whenever I cut luxury vinyl plank. I thought he was messing with me, why would you wet a blade? Finally tried it last week on a tricky 45 degree angle around a door frame in a kitchen job. The cut came out perfect, no chipping at the edge at all. I guess the water acts as lube and keeps the blade from heating up too much. Anyone else do this or just stick with dry cuts?

Wait till you try water on a jigsaw blade for LVP, total game changer. It keeps the dust down too so you actually see your cut line. Plus the blade lasts way longer before getting dull.

Did you use the spray bottle or just dip it like @jesser79, because I totally flooded my first cut and looked like a fool?
