Hi,
I am making some units with the melamine covered chip board you get
from B&Q. My
question is, how do you cut it without splintering the edges???

Thanks.


If you haven't already bought it, go to Homebase or somewhere they still
cut to size. Difficult to get the accuracy required for units otherwise.


1/. Tape up the cut with masking tape before cutting.

2/. Use a fine toothed blade and take it slowly.

3/. Pray.
