How to cut a fiberboard with a flat edge with a regular grinder

Wood-fiber boards (Fibreboard) are widely used in the installation process of floor coverings. They allow you to make the floor surface warmer and cushioned.

In many cases, sheets of material need to be shaped. At the same time, the difficulty lies in the fact that not all tools can smoothly cut the fiberboard. The opportunity to turn to professionals does not always exist, and therefore you need to familiarize yourself with the methods of processing the material with your own hands.

Masters recommend using special electric jigsaws or saws for cutting. However, what to do for those who have only an ordinary Bulgarian on hand? Is it possible to get a perfectly even cut with this tool?

How to cut fiberboard grinder

A grinder is not recommended for use in cutting wood products. This is because too much power of the tool can provoke jamming of its disk in fibrous texture of the material, subsequent failure or the occurrence of potentially dangerous situations.

Therefore, to ensure safe and high-quality cutting of a fiberboard sheet, the grinder should be fixed on a special strong bracket, which will ensure its reliable fastening during operation. Discs for grinders should have small teeth. If, after cutting, the edges are uneven, they can be trimmed using the grinding method.

However, to ensure the proper level of safety and guaranteed positive results, it is recommended to use other equipment. If it is lacking, you can rent a tool in a specialized store. This approach will allow you to get a perfectly even cut.

Fiberboard Cutting Tools

The best option is to use a hand-held circular saw, which will allow you to get a perfectly even cut. Manual disk tools will make it possible not only to cut sheets of the required shape, but also to guarantee the complete absence of any chips and defects. For this reason, it is recommended that you use only such equipment.

The use of a grinder is possible, however, it requires a certain skill when working with a tool. As already mentioned, the equipment is characterized by a high level of productivity, and therefore implies maximum caution when working. It is important to remember that on the grinder you need to install special disks that can easily cut through the fibrous surface of the wood board.
