Hello,
Whilst looking through Screwfix catalogue I came accross 7mm PVCU nail on fascia baord, and a lightbulb apeared above my head :idea:
My current idea, and it's vague at the moment, first think of the fascia board lay flat, and the lip which is approx 18mm high is on the left sticking up ( so it's a straight 90 degree ) the falt bit will be just over the width of my saw soleplate.
1. Glue a small piece of mdf approx 18 x 10mm to the angle to stengthen it and stop it flexing when pushing the saw against it.
2. On top of that little MDF off cut I'll put some 19 x 19mm ally angle on as a rubbing/wear strip.
3. 2 small 25 x 7mm off cuts will act as runners for the sole plate ? but thinking of some sort of bearing system on the sole plate :?: or might even keep it simple and use Trend's ultraglide tape.
4. On the under side, Screwfix do a 65mm anti slip tape for carpet/rugs, a couple of narrow strips underneath should help it remain in position, still need to work on an end clamping idea :?:
5. Simply run the saw through it as with all the other types, and hopefully I'll have a lightweight version.
Obviously it needs more thought, but the general idean is there, I figured that PVCU would give little resistance and should be ok.
