worktop joint
I want to do a *butt and scribed* (?) invisible joint on two post-formed
laminated kitchen worktops. What do I use? A router? A fine jigsaw? Cheers! Gilbert |

I've seen professionals cut the joint with a router. But they also used a jig to guide it which costs several hundred pounds. I've no idea how hard it is to get right without this. Tim Cheers!

Cutting a joint well is riding a bike, easy when you get the hang of it.
For the cost of a GOOD router & jig you could pay someone like me, & have change. email me -- regards Dave Batter Kitchenman www.kitchenman.co.uk www.sxmitres.info www.marks-family.co.uk http://oneandone.co.uk/xml/init?k_id=5568652 "Frank" wrote in message ...

I have two joints to make but have enough spare material to practice on first. I'll report how I get on in a few weeks. Andrew |

I was quoted £95 by a guy who specialises in doing this service
on-site. Seemed like a fair price but I bought the gear (from Screwfix)and did it myself, just for the experience. |
