I was feeling a bit brave today and decided to try out my new circular saw, I'm now a fully fledged multi trader!

Tomorrow I'm going to butcher a plinth :)

Cut the bottom bri and then run a 30mm bead of silicone to cover up all the chipped plinth.

Depends on how much you're taking off the bottom of a plinth but I always use a planer and scribe them.

To save you the trouble of using clamps and spirit levels and subtracting measurements. There a simple jig you can make.

Get a piece of 6 mm ply of you desired length glue and pin a straight piece of lathe to it. Make sure the width of the ply is greater than your saw. Put saw fence against the lathe and cut straight through the ply. Now the next time you cut simply put the ply edge against your cut line with confidence it will cut it bang on. Pictures on request if ya fancy making one :thumbsup:

That's a great bit of advice, cheers.
I do the exact same as Bri has done in the photo.
I'm not a multi-trader though. [emoji1][emoji1]

Make sure the width of the ply is greater than your saw for extra stability add draught excluder tape to bottom. Put saw fence against the lathe and cut straight through the ply.

Ive got a festool plunge saw now but that set me back nearly 600 quid with the tracks but worth every penny. The system i described was how i used to do it. My festool is like the sigma or rubi of tile cutters :thumbsup:
