Bunnings wood cutting.

[buttss66]

i've always gone to mitre10 and the cuts are perfect. Maybe cos they use a wall saw. There are always tradies in there picking up orders so that suggests to me that they know what they are doing. Surely bunnings would have to refund your money if they get it wrong?

So, if i go now i should get i perfect cut then? I would usually go to Mitre 10 but found the wood i wont is cheaper at Bunnings.

I have not read the other responses, so apologies if i'm just repeating stuff.
Getting wood/melamine cut at bunnings is, in my experience, more trouble than it's worth. It can cost you a lot of time trying to work with wood that had not been accurately cut, especially if u don't have the tools to adjust for it when you start building.

At bunnings it is very dependent on the individual who's doing the cutting, & what their care factor is. So you may be lucky & get decent cuts.

I think bunnings usually hire out trailers pretty cheap, so maybe best to cart it home & cut it up there.

Good luck,
Campbell.

i just got sum melamine from bunnings morayfield last week. cost $45 for 3x1200x595x16 with a backing sheet to fit...cut it myself, but did buy a drop saw while i was there too!!!

[Dan19]

Hey dazza, how did it cost like $70-80 for all the wood for the 4x4x2ft enclosure? I just got mine, all cut ect and it cost $49.

hey dan 19 i went to melboard in hallam s/e suburbs and it has no chips at all $76 for 7 pieces all i have to do is edge 5 sides and thats it

[Dan19]

Yeah my pieces are great, havnt seen any chips, but i have the iron on edging so im going to put it on once its finished. Make sure to post pics when your finished, i will.

ow much is edging roughly and where i get

[dazza74]

put the edging on first dan it is easier

[colt08]

please i need some as im making a 5bank enclosure with devider and need edging

[Dan19]

Ok then, i'll do that tommorow. For my wood, i just got a 2.4m by 60cm and got them to cut it in half, then got a full size sheet, 2.4 by 1.2 and got them to cut it in half, and then one side cut in half again, so i now have a 4ft square back, and 4 4ft by 2ft smaller sheets. And i should say that all the cuts are good and the 4ft by 2ft's are all the exact same size.
