Marking out and routing

Post by jalker » Wed Sep 21, 2016 11:14 am

hi

I'm building my portable workshop with phenolic plywood top. The problem i'm having is what would be the best way to mark-out for routing and drilling ? white paint pen ?

or print out 32 pages of PDF's cut ,tape, and spray adhesive to surface ?

any other ideas i would love to hear.

hi Keith,

in such large areas as in this case, I think the best way is as I did, check the measures in the plans and mark onto the plywood board with a measuring tape and a pencil.

To make the milling, you could use a template like this:

thanks for the reply Suso

so you have no problems marking the rough/bumpy side of the board with a pencil and keep accuracy ? my eyesight is not as good as it used to be :( . and i'm not as skilled as you.

but i will give it a try. could always swap it to Baltic birch and use the phenolic board on another of your projects.

thanks keith
