Use a compound saw with linear

movement and adjustable cutting

depth.
It can be used both for cutting the

boards into length and for making

the cut-out or recess in the boards.

The machine can be ordered from

Logosol.
Build a good workstation. Take two

boards (for instance some remaining

bottom boards) that are approx. 1.7

metres long. Screw them together

and secure the saw on top of them.

Ensure that there is a space of at

least 1 metre on the left side of the

saw blade. Place an additional board

on both sides of the saw. Place short

board pieces under them so that they

become level with the saw table, then

fasten the construction with screws.

It should be room to fasten the stop

boards (see below) with C-clamps.
Make sure that the saw blade cuts

at a 90 degree angle. As lateral stops

you use two short board pieces, which

you secure with C-clamps. When you

are satisfied with the adjustment (see

the sections Cutting into length and

Setting for the cut-out) you should

also drive a couple of screws through

the board pieces so that they do not

become displaced.

Preparation of the side boards

1. Cutting into length

Use a board piece as a stop 108 cm

from the saw blade, and cut all boards

into the correct length (the depth of the

hot tub will then be 97 cm). You will

need approx. 80 boards for a 2 m hot

tub, but cut a couple of extra boards

in reserve. Cut the ends clean. Avoid

using boards with big open knots, and

avoid getting knots in the cuts.
TIP: There is always a certain degree

of play in the machine. Be careful

you do not bend the saw head in any

direction while sawing. Try to take all

cuts the same way.
NB: Make sure that there is no saw

dust between the stop and the boards

that are to be sawn. Regularly check

the result by comparing the length with

side boards that you have cut before.
