10 Tips , Hydroponics Gardening On Cutting Plywood Correctly

1. Avoid Cross Cutting : Plywood tends to chip the most when cut
across its width (grain). Cutting along the length of the wood
will help to reduce chipping.

2. Use the Right Blade : Special blades are manufactured for
different cutting jobs. The number of teeth, width, angle, and
rake of the blade all impact the cut. Choose a blade that best
matches your specific cutting situation.

3. Circular Saw : cut with the "best face" down.

4. Table Saw : cut with the "best face" up.

5. Score the Cut First : Run the plywood through the saw removing
only a minimal amount of wood. , A Cost Effective Way to Keep Your Gutters Clean Year After Y The next cut will leave a cleaner
cut.

6. Masking Tape : Put masking tape over the cut line to help keep the
fibers on the edge from pulling up.

7. Backing Panel : Attach a backing panel with strong double stick
tape. The backer board will take the brunt of the damage.

8. Use a Router : A router fitted with a straight bit will cut a
clean line. A pilot bit and straight edge will help provide a clean line.

9. Score with a Utility Knife : Score the cut line with a utility
knife.

10. Buy a Panel Scoring Setup : Some saws can be fitted with a
plywood panel scoring setup and are ideal if you have to cut a lot of plywood. The setup consists of a smaller blade that scores the
surface of the plywood before it reaches the cutter.
