How Do I Cut Feather Edge Boards To Size?
Cutting feather edge boards to size is a straightforward task once you have the right tools and a clear plan. Start by measuring the area where you will be installing the boards, ensuring to account for any overlaps. Feather edge boards typically overlap by around 25mm, so factor this into your measurements. Mark the cutting lines on the boards using a pencil and a straight edge to ensure accuracy.
To make the cuts, use a fine-toothed saw or a circular saw, which will give you a clean, precise cut. Ensure to wear appropriate safety equipment such as gloves and goggles. Place the board on a stable surface and cut along the marked lines. Once cut to size, you can treat the cut ends with a wood preserver to protect against moisture and rot before installation.
