You can cut it with a circular saw using a carbide tipped blade. A triple chip blade used for cutting aluminum or brass works best, but a standard wood cutting blade will work if you go slowly and use a straight edge to guide the saw. When you cut off the unneeded leg of the top you will expose the wood substrate and unfinished edge, since only exposed edges are built up to 1 1/2" thickness. You will need some of the cut off material to fill in where it's only 1/2" thick. For this you need color matched adhesive which you can only get from a fabricator, which may be problematic. If you don't mind the seam showing a lot you can use epoxy or crazy glue. Rout off the edge using a router and 45 degree bevel bit. Sand with a random orbit sander starting with 100 grit and finishing with 400, then a red Scotch-Bright pad. Dont use wax-it's not necessary. Good luck with this project. |
