• What are today's trade prices for furniture-grade birch ply these days, and where's the best place to buy?

    Looking to make 18mm ply fronts for an Ikea kitchen...

  • I'm looking for the same right now, so if anyone has any recommendations... Or alternatives to birch ply? And finally any recommendations for a track saw? Have a Makita circular saw but it's a smaller one which doesn't take the standard track adapter - should I DIY a perspex track adapter or just buy a suitable track saw? Got quite a few bits - pipe boxes, shelves, etc - to so

  • Dewalt make a track compatible circular saw. So the footplate matches with their track but doesn't have the full abilities of a plunge saw.

    Since I bought it, the very expensive cordless plunge saw barely gets used.

    Unless you definitely need the plunge cut ability, I would recommend the track compatible circular saw

  • I faffed around with adapters and it's just not worth it, so in went with the dewalt.

    It's pretty decent, although I wouldn't want to do any cabinetry with it - it's not amenable to fine tuning, and a struggle to keep completely perpendicular & square.

    Also wired, not battery, because moar watts.
