Hello, I am looking for the best way to cut a memamine sheet, which has a MDF core and prefinished melamine on both sides. I am wanting to lip the cut edge with an iron on edge. Can you help with what the best way of cutting the sheet with out chipping the melamine on either side. Thanks in advance.
Cut it slightly oversize and finish it to the exact size with a Router and a straight edge. You will then get a perfect machine finish with no chipping on either edge. Snezza31.
heeelllooo and welcome ukjon10 tecknically its melimane faced board some sheds do a cutting service at 50p a cut so cut multiple sheets at once so get value for money what saws or tools do you have at your disposal
Cheers big all I have circular saw, router,jigsaw etc. I was looking at purchasing a plunge saw, would this cut the sheeting with little chipping? If so which is the prefered saw on the market? Many thanks
Snezza has given you the correct answer, follow his advice. A skill saw will NEVER acheive as good a finish as a router
