Hi everyone,
I'm just after some advice if that's okay. I need to ply out a floor in 6mm ply, but I'm having a right hash of a time using a Stanley knife to be honest. I was just wondering whether it would be a bit over the top to use a jigsaw? I reckon I'd find that easier if I could find a way to do it.
If I used a jigsaw and propped the ply on a workmate bench, would that work? I'm using paper to template the floor, so would a jigsaw allow me to shape the ply to the intricate shapes?
My only other concern is the size of the ply; wouldn't it be almost impossible to clamp down a whole sheet of ply up on a workmate bench and comfortably saw through it?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Raffa
