FAQ

What tools can I use on 100% recycled plastic?

Tools you would usually use on wood. Ensure cutting blades and drills are sharp.

DRILLING

All fixing holes should be pre-drilled with an HSS or wood bit prior to screwing. 

A low drilling speed is recommended.

SAWING

Recycled plastic can be sawn using a handsaw, circular saw or chop saw.  

A slow cutting speed with a medium tooth blade is best, for example a 305mm 60 tooth TCT blade.

In all cases when working with recycled plastic it is recommended to keep operating speeds low in order to prevent material from melting on the surface of your implement, some WD40 on the blade can help.
