The first couple of questions I would ask are what tools do you have to do the job and do the cuts need to be exact, could you lose a few mm?I need to saw exactly in half some 1200x800mm plastic pallets right down the middle so they're 1200x400mm (don't ask why
What is the best way to do this? From what I see most circular saws only cut 50mm deep but I need to cut 120mm
As you said, he wouldn’t get the 400mm clearance on a bandsaw.
If he was doing that he would be better flipping it over and making the second cut on his he reverse side This would then leave him with 20mm to hand saw and a cutting guide both sides.
Make sure you hire a table saw with a fence and the capacity to rip down at 400 mm, remember to take into consideration the blade thickness to make sure both sections are equal. On my table saw, I am able to move and set the fence at the distance required using the built-in tape measure but this is the distance between the fence and the blade. For example, if I set it at 400mm cutting an 800mm board, the offcut would be the blade thickness shorter. Most blades cut at 3mm. I would mark the centre of the board on your first cut, line this up with the centre of the blade and move your fence towards the workpiece and set the fence. Do not move the fence again and each piece should cut at 398.5 mm. If the saw has a built-in tape measure, set it at the desired distance minus half the blade thickness.
You've now got me intrigued and are wondering what you are using the pallets for.

Something tells me it involves strong lights and tapping into next doors electricity supply.
Yes you have a good memory
It's part of my plan to bring the world record back to Europe (someone in the US broke the record last week)
They just bypass their own meter these days,Something tells me it involves strong lights and tapping into next doors electricity supply.
Did you manage to get these cut?Yes you have a good memory
