Simply so, how do you cut kitchen worktops?
Cut kitchen worktop. When cuttingakitchen worktop it is best if you cut it upsidedown,this is because the teeth on the blade cut on the wayup, sothere is much less chance of chipping the worktop.Somepeople draw a line on the worktop and then score it afewtimes using a sharp knife, then apply somemaskingtape
Therefore, you could use a table saw,acircular saw, a reciprocating saw or a jigsaw(idealfor curved cuts). As far as the blade is concerned,youshould choose one with a fine high teeth count and long enoughtocut trough the counter top (if it is alsocarbidetipped it would be great).
