What is best tool tro get straight edge on 90mm boards guys
festool track saw for a real clean cut and extraction limits the dust. wax blade so it doesnt snatchWhat is best tool tro get straight edge on 90mm boards guys
Is there a good way of hand cutting a taper? I still have to finish my loft insulation job and was planning a small amount of PIR where I need headspace, a snap between two slightly offset cuts might do it but would you end up with a ragged edge?if you are cutting for between existing joists or studs then a slight taper is good so it goes in snug.
Put the board on a table. Put a rip of OSB (say, a foot wide) on the board. Offset the OSB relative to the edge of the table, forming the taper. Cut using the two edges (osb and table) as a guideIs there a good way of hand cutting a taper?

Only In so much as it might effect the fit and having to tidy it up, haven't got a circular saw so it's hand tools only for now, I've got a few thicker skip dived PIR offcuts that I picked up from a job nearby so I'll give some test cuts a goNot quite sure why you're worried about a ragged edge; you don't ordinarily see insulation?
