is blade 439686 suitable for cutting laminate floor

[tk]

I have completed about 1/3 of install of lamintate floor using my ts55 with the stock blade.
Now realizing the saw worked too hard after the blade is shot ...

I found a #439686 blade for $40 and looking for advise whether this blade is adequate for finishing job?
Where web search shows blade #439686 is an obsolete p/n.  Replacement is #496307 described as 56t -5deg TF for AL also hard & reinforced plastic.
I see blade #496309 is the current solid surface & laminate blade.  $80
Where #496309 is 48T 4deg (hook) TC.

Any recommendations, tool engineers?

First,  [welcome] to the FOG

You would be better off with the Solid Surface/ Laminate Blade 496309

The larger gaps between teeth, and the positive hook will aid in cutting the floor material.
