Hi all
I'm looking into getting a new gas oven to replace our old built-
in (built-under?) one. The old one is 600mm wide, with a separate hob
set into the worktop, directly above.

It seems that there are very few models suitable as a direct 'drop-in'
replacement. In a way that suits me as I don't like built-in ovens
particularly. So I'm contemplating getting a freestanding oven+hob
instead.

But this means I'd have to cut out the worktop to a width of 600mm, in
line with the sides of the current adjacent units, so that the new
oven would fit.

The worktop goes back to a tiled wall, and this feels like a
potentially tricky approach. eg. how would I align the (jigsaw?) cut
to the edge of the cupboard below? how could I get the cut all the way
back to the wall? etc. etc.

Any thoughts on this approach, or an alternative one? We *will* need a
new worktop/kitchen at some point, but i don't want to do that for
now. However a 'slightly bodgy but will do for now' solution might do
for a while...

Thanks
