How to cut off a plywood without chips: an easy way for the lazy

Druzya, in this article I will teach you a few useful tricks that will help you cut the sheet materials - plywood, chipboard, fiberboard, chipboard, etc. - free cuts that spoil their appearance.

Est cases (e.g., plywood laying on the floor) when the presence or absence of chipping does not affect technical and operational characteristics of plywood, but there are cases (for example, the assembly of the cabinet with their hands) even the segment of plywood or particle board is very important.

DTo our experiment, I'll use my usual jigsaw with a fine-sawing wood. Fortunately, such is almost every man in the house.

The trick first.

Turn off the pendulum jigsaw mode.
This feature is added to the jigsaw in order to increase the sawing speed, but at the same time it makes a broader section of the edge of spoils (see photo)

BTo deactivate the pendulum action mode move the turntable mode "0" - when it saw blade horizontal vibrations are gone, and will only smooth running (cm. a photo).

The trick to second.

Domit what you already knew about the presence of the pendulum / forward stroke in Jigsaw options, but about the second way you can hardly hear!

Moisten the cut line with water.
EIf you apply a small amount of water on the line that will cut out the sheet material, the cut line will even remain only small burrs (cm. a photo).

The trick to third.

Raschertite cutting line with a pencil and stick it on top of the masking tape - it will press the edges of the material on either side of the cut line, and no chips, scratches and burrs after cutting appears.
