hi all was trying to cut an offcut of the white fiberboard/ melamine as sold by the likes of bq/whicks the stuff that is used for kitchen base units shelfs etc and is coated either side with white finish.
size wanted was 100mm x 400mm used tenon saw to cut ends but the white coating chipped on underside of cut.
used a jigsaw clamped in workbench with blade upright a straight batton and fed stock into blade but found the jigsaw blade just veered of and could not get a straight descent cut.
not having a sawbench what do members use to cut such items and get at least a half descent cut finish. without going to say bq and get items cut to required size, have no transport.
thanks all
