Hello,
I would like to make some shelves out of a sheet of 8x4 plywood. I realise now that I should have asked the timber yard to cut it for me. I see you can buy metal guide rails that clamp to the wood but most seem to be only 1200mm long, so that's great for cutting across the sheet but not for ripping along it.
There is a 2.5m one available from Axminster for £20. It comes in two halves and the review suggests it might flex a bit at the join in use. Has anyone used this? What did you think?
Does anyone know of any other 2.4m+ guide rails?
I had a search and found a suggestion to use a metal plasterer's feather edge. Has anyone ever tried that? How successful was it?
Or do you just clamp a piece of planed timber to use as a guide? My only worry about that is that I would have to make sure it was not warped before using it, otherwise I wouldn't get a straight cut!
Thanks, Stephen.
