Where Are You Working Today?

I find the jig gives a slanted cut which isn’t any good when mating up to other work surfaces, ok for sink and hob.
Circle saw all the way.

 

Fun isn’t it!

 

Routers for mitres or don't bother going to work.

 

You can use jigsaw blades that cut on the down stroke which eliminates any chipping.

Bloody weird to use though!

 

I hope you lads are mitring the worktop joints, no sloppiness now!!!

Having fitted kitchens for many years, I found it easier and quicker to fit the worktops first before fitting any units.

I’m in the property rental business, the easier it is to replace damaged work surfaces the better it is for me.

 

But you'll need a router in your tool box.

 

I'm an amateur Steve so work to my limits. Not fun lugging 40mm oak worktops around on your own.

Yours or airport general maintenance useage?

 

It's my hgr, been there since around 2003, was an A&P till 911 jacked that up.

 

looking at your pic with the plunge saw it looks like you have no support under the top running between the cabinets. if cutting in this position (with no support under top) any pressure put on top could cause it to bend, grab the plungs saw blade and fire the saw backwards. this would damage your track, possibly the worktop and remove fingers if you are daft enough to have them across the track behind the blade (like the guy in the makita instructional vid that i saw playing in a tool shop!!).
if im teaching you how to suck eggs here, i apologise.. useful info for new users of this tool though..

 

im for ever trying to talk rental people into fitting jointing strips as it easier to replace one section of top only if they do... it may be, but the real reason is i hate doing mitres!!!! its not that they are difficult, just a pain in the hole... that said, jointing strips are minging and i wouldnt have em in my place...

 

I agree, but it’s like you said, if you can get the same worktop then you can just swap out the damaged one.
Makes for a quicker turn-around.

 

i'm not. but the mrs is. she's been looking after a croft immediately behind this pic. and its v,much like this today.

 

Is this pic hung on the living room wall.?

 

Is that a dusting of snow?

 

Don't you read other posts, it's on his wall, it's just dust!!
