Evening all...

Anyone got any hints on cutting plywood with nice clean, sharp,
straight edges on both sides? The best I've managed so far is to cut
it to within a few mm of the line with a jigsaw, then use the router
against a clamped straightedge. Good results, but very time-consuming!

TIA
Andrew


Try scoring the ply with a modelling knife first then cut with a good hard
point hand saw. I personally only use a fine toothed wood or hacksaw jigsaw
blade to cut shapes in plywood and any straight cuts are done with a hand
saw.
