Thread: $20 bucks well spent

It was a well spent $20, good luck with the shoulder recovery.

Hi,
You were lucky lots of places won't cut MDF any more due to OH&S concerns.
Best of luck with the surgery and recovery.
Regards

I don't know about your Bunnings, but mine uses a vertical panel saw, and the store guarantees the accuracy to 20mm or something like that lol, if it is dead accurate then bargain, it would be cheaper for anyone bar someone with a table saw to get the cuts done there if it is bang on.

Hope that you are feeling better and in six weeks time we see a start to this project.

Don't want to tempt fate but I'd be checking your lengths carefully before claiming money well spent

Had some interesting experiences with Bunnings cutting timer to "length"

Hope the shoulder get's better.

Thanks for all the well wishes, it might be a bit longer recovery than I thought. I scanned the Workcover certificate AND SENT IT off to work (HR) with a "see you in a couple of weeks", I got an email back saying I need to look at the certificate a bit closer, it is nearly seven weeks off

Sure enough, I checked the certificate and I thought it was off until 28/8/13 it was 28/9/13. All that time off and I'm not allowed in shed, well can go in shed, but I can only look..., and....it gets worse, Stephen emails me and says my Clear Vue max will be about a week away.....I WON'T EVEN BE ABLE TO OPEN THE BOXES.......

I'm picking up what you're putting down, the cuts were all made with the saw at the same setting. Having them all the same size is a bonus, I have a TS and can trim them all down to matching widths if needed, the main concern was my dicky shoulder, I was battling to handle large sheets prior to the op and I knew post op I would have to be very careful so as not to stuff up the recuperation.
As I was loading the cut sheets onto the trolley, I had them all on their edges and I couldn't feel a lip, so I reckon he did a good job...

We had a bit of a chat whilst he was cutting and he has a TS at home, so it probably helped that he is a woody and not just someone shown how to use the saw.
