6. Masking Tape ' Put masking tape over the cut line to help keep the

7. Backing Panel ' Attach a backing panel with strong double stick

9. Score with a Utility Knife ' Score the cut line with a utility
knife.


10. Buy a Panel Scoring Setup ' Some saws can be fitted with a
plywood panel scoring setup and are ideal if you have to cut a lot of plywood. The setup consists of a smaller blade that scores the
surface of the plywood before it reaches the cutter.
