dynax Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 May as well chuck this out here as I can't be arsed making a new post for it. Anyone fancy joining me in a ride out to Cleethorpes on Wednesday. I am going there for some fishing so will be staying a good few hours, but anyone who wants to come just for the ride is more than welcome, not sure which route yet, either A18 or going through Gainsborough and A46, I will be setting off between 9 and 10 in the morning, so just let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilM Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Knackered. Just been for a run.... I am feeling old and fat. Reason being. I may have whilst drinking volunteered by services to a coastal union vets team. (You know the one @Stu) So I need to either get fit or stop drinking. And I like lager.... 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What blades you using, cheap ones dont tend to do very well, I got a couple of Freud for daughters, one has so far cut all end panels, plinths, several doors and various associated crap in the kitchen. Was looking at reviews on screwifix, a couple slated them because the writing was on the wrong side, ie they couldn't follow instructions so the blades were spinning the wrong way and not cutting, there a big bloody arrow on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggie Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I bought a proper laminate cutter when I did my hallway. It goes through the planks surprisingly well. Edit: my hallway was 16mm boards and the cutter handled them fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I mostly use laminate saw and cut them by hand, if it's cuts along the length the circular saw comes out. I bought a guillotine for the viny flooring that worked ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiggie Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Best thing about the cutter is the lack of dust. Couldn't believe the amount of dust you get when doing laminate cuts with circular saw or similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blade’s done quite a lot of work. Two rooms, oak skirting and miscellaneous bits of cutting of CLS etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
