I made 2 oval signs this week, i cut them out of dibond with the jigsaw, turned out really well

What kind of blade andrew? Iwas thinking of buying a colered board from robert horne if its easy to cut
-
I normally use a laminate blade which gives a nice clean cut and as the blades are designed to leave both sides of the laminate with a nice clean finish there is little in the way of de burring to do. Only thing to watch out for is the blades are quite thin which makes them great for cutting shapes but more prone to wandering off line if you don’t let the saw do the work and try to push it along to hard.

Totally agree John, Martins best post! No mention of legs, just signage!
Welcome back Martin! (sorry!)

Yup – one of Martins best ever posts, succinct and to the point with relevant information throughout and nothing superfluous….
apart from the reference to Chris Deburr which I didn’t quite get 😕

I just use a steel cutting blade, think its 21 tpi IIRC we wee run round with a de-burring tool and job done.
