The best cut laminate at home - overview of the tools

conventional laminate stacking scheme involves a shift of the samples relative to each other.Consequently, without cutting in the process of finishing the installation of floor covering can not do.Let us examine, with the help of which the laminate can be cut quickly and qualitatively.

What is required to ensure

Once it comes to the home, it does not make sense to deal with a specific machine equipment.As a general rule, anything that can be the host - only hand tools.

Jigsaw

That it will provide the best results.The cost of the simplest items (a professional model for home purchase does not make sense - about the choice of the jigsaw here) - 1 600 rubles (350 W).

Pros use jigsaw:

Saw hacksaw

This tool is designed to work with wood, definitely not suitable.Samu board with it is easy to cut, but that's what will happen to its protective coating?It is a thin film.If we compare this parameter with the dimensions of the saw teeth, then there is nothing to comment on.It is clear that there will be not only the fringe, but chipped.

Conclusion - only a hacksaw for metal.

What to consider - high speed manually move the fabric can not be achieved in the vertical plane.This means that, even observing very carefully, fringe on the edges of the laminate can not be avoided.To reduce the probability of such defects must be pre-stick adhesive tape on the cut line.Better - Scotch or masking, as they shine, and "track" will be seen.Adhesive can be used, but in this case it is necessary to redo the layout, on top of it.

In principle, suitable, and other tools.For example, "Bulgarian", circular saw, rezak- "guillotine" (it is designed specifically for cutting laminate).Is it advisable to buy them for home use is up to you, dear reader, but some points should be noted.

Note!
