You may not have heard of a Plywood Edge Trimmer. But if you have ever used one, you know what I'm talking about. It is the most essential tool you can use to make the edges of the plywood straight and smooth. And if you're new to woodworking or if you are simply afraid that you will not be able to complete a project properly without one, then it would be best for you to get one for yourself first.
Plywood Edge Trimming saw comes in many varieties such as electric, gas, and battery-powered ones. Of course, the battery-powered types are cheaper than the other two. However, they do not work as well and you will definitely need the extra power to finish a project properly.
Before purchasing a Trimmer, consider the amount of wood you want to trim. If your project involves very little wood, you can consider using the electric versions. They may cost slightly more than the gas versions but they can also be charged by plugging them into the wall socket. However, the downside of buying this type is that you cannot maneuver it around a lot. This is especially true if you plan to move it around from one place to another to finish your project.
The second kind of Trimmer that you can use is the gas-powered one. They can cost more but they work faster than the electrical ones. You can start the gas-powered Trimmer by igniting it with the matches in between the two wicks. The gas that is ignited produces enough pressure to move the teeth of the Trimmer across the board and help it trim. However, you should not let the blades touch the edge of the plywood because it may cause the board to bend and snap. Be sure to allow the blades to rest on the plywood while working.
The last Trimmer is the battery-operated one. If you plan to use this in a workshop, then you must use a portable version that does not occupy too much space. This is because the portable models are powered by batteries and not electricity, and you can easily carry it around.
When choosing which Trimmer you will be using for your project, make sure to look for one that is lightweight, durable, and easy to use. After all, your Trimmer should last a long time if you use it often. and with proper care.
