First, measure the area you wish to use the bamboo slat for. If it is to trim a countertop edge, mark the measurement for cutting. If the slat will be used the full length of a ceiling, you might need to leave the full size. The nice thing about bamboo slats is they are easy to cut.
Step 2
Set up a table saw in a roomy area–you will need room on both sides of the saw to accommodate the 6-foot slats.
Step 3
Plug in and turn on the table saw. Hold both sides of the bamboo slats securely with your hands.
Step 4
Push the bamboo slat into the saw blade at the mark on your slat. Keep your fingers out of the way of the blade.
Step 5
Keep the bamboo slat straight to ensure that your cut is straight. Cut slowly to avoid making a mistake.
Tips & Warnings
- Make sure to use a saw blade in your table saw that has at least 120 teeth. This will ensure a nice clean cut.
- Always wear gloves and goggles when using an electric power tool to protect your hands and eyes from sharp blades and flying wood pieces.
