Cut Your Own Boards For Flooring

This needs to be cut to 1 1 8 inch thick.

Cut your own boards for flooring.

A table saw is very powerful and when cutting numerous boards can prove to be reliable in the long run. You could use any type of lumber you like for this project but i really liked the idea of wider plank pine boards that would look a little more like they re original to the house and might even get a little more dinged up with use. Scc cut all the 8 ft planks into 4 ft pieces then cut about 6 of those in half again to 2 ft sections. Yes i did the sanding hence no photos of that step.

Extremely robust unaffected by nails in wood up. Bi metal with teeth set for all wood plasterboard and plastic materials. Outstanding service life very clean cut and excellent work progress. Get your groove back.

Rip the new boards. We cut the boards and dry fitted them in the room to make sure we had the right number of boards. Take the hardwood tree to the saw mill to have them cut down into rough planks. Set up your table saw and cut your boards to 6 inches by 48 inches long.

I sanded each board one by one top ends and knocked the sharp edges off the corners for a worn farmhouse feel. Measure the face width of the existing flooring add the width of its tongue then set the table saw s fence that same distance away from the blade. Now cut the new boards to width by running the tongue side against the fence. Step 2 send them through the gang saw and have them ripped a full half inch wider than the size flooring you want.

It will make laying them much easier. For this example i am going to be using a miter saw which is the most common type of saw used and a circular saw which is less common but still very useful. This removes the groove which you ll re create in the next step. However if by some chance you don t get them perfectly straight don t panic you can still get them to work.

The major disadvantage in using a table saw is that your boards need to be cut using multiple passes.
