For convenient and quick cutting of veneer at home, the master recommends using a simple home-made tool. It is often called a veneer cutter or vein cutter. Such a device will be indispensable when working in a workshop.
Despite the fact that the design is quite primitive, the veneer cut is neat, even and accurate. To make this device is very simple - this will require accessible materials: two wooden planks, a sharp blade and self-tapping screws.
As mentioned earlier, the construction of the homemade product is extremely simple: these are two pieces of a board or plywood, between which the blade is clamped at an angle. You can use a razor blade or from a clerical knife.
Features of the design of a homemade device
One of the main conditions in the manufacture of this tool - the blade should be between the planks at an angle. Moreover, for each thickness of the veneer, you must configure the blade separately.
Due to the fact that the blade is located at a slight angle, the cutting knife “bites” into the veneer gradually, without tearing the fibers. This is very important if you need to make a quality and accurate cut.
The very principle of cutting veneer (along or across - it does not matter) is very simple. This will require a guide rail made of plywood. We install the rail, press the veneer to the side surface, make 1-2 passes, depending on the thickness and direction of the fibers.
The process of manufacturing a homemade device for cutting veneer at home, see the video on the site.
