Cutting close to brickwork
Hi people.
I want to cut off the protruding part of an old wooden cill (in completely the wrong place now!), so that it's flush with the brickwork below it. Although it's a cill, there's no void above it (as there would be if I had just removed the window), so I'll be cutting close to the wall above and there's a cement fillet (about an inch) over a protruding DPC beneath it, so I need some way to cut vertically downward, just through the timber. I had thought of buying a Fein (or clone) but would this cut through around 2 inches of wood (getting on for 6 feet long as well, so a lot of plunges) or just make a pig's ear of what's left behind? If there aren't any suggestions, I may have to resort something like a hammer and chisel (perhaps a wood chisel in an SDS drill?). It's very nearly a job for the angle grinder, but I don't think it would make a very good job on wood, somehow, and though I'm tempted to put a circular saw blade on it, something tells me that's not a bright idea(!) Any bright ideas out there? Cheers |
