    In the process of doing a whole victorian house of laminate
    ive tried to undercut skirting blocks but keep hitting nails and ruining my blades on the fein and roberts undercutter
    there is a curved wall like a quarter moon (ie quarter of a circle)
    any tips on how to bead this as im stuck :(
    customer has requested beads rather than take skirtings off and risk damage to walls

    isnt there a trick with leaving it in cold water over night or something along those lines?

    Couldn't agree more! My Roberts undercut saw is one of the best tools in the van! Turns the ordinary into extraordinary!:eek:

    Kahrs do a flexible beading. You soak it to get it more flexible. It's meant to be flexible enough to go fully around a post. I had it for a job but didn't end up using it. Remember that one Welshy.?

    I just missed out on a whole gym which had wood but as for wood in general, no mate, all ive done recently is fluffy. 2 lvt jobs, that's it. Trying to get a fitter from this forum to do some carpet work for me when me and the other guys have too much but looking at pictures of his work on here id like to use him ahead of the other fitters, although i haven't had him do a job for me yet!! gala today, cheap for the lower end rentals.
