Hi, i am about to fit 38mm oak worktop to a run of 3.1m, the length of the worktops I have are 3m, obviously I have to find that extra 10cm but I am guessing I don't want to add just 10cm to end of 3m length, where am I best to cut the 3m. the run has a cut out for a sink and also cuts in the back to allow for where pipes have been boxed in. would appreciate any info, also any advice on what is the best method for cutting the oak, router, skill or jigsaw, blades, bits etc.

Why did you not purchase a 4metre top?
cheers woody, I didn't buy a 4m top because of the extra cost, I knew that i would have enough off cuts left over from other worktops to make up any short fall.

Put the cut bit somewhere where it will have plenty of support, such as above a solid-topped unit etc. Don't put it in the corner where it will probably have nothing to rest on. You can cut it with a router. When it's done and clamped up tight with worktop bolts underneath you can sand the general area to hide any slight ridge at the join.
