Pros: can cut a lot with a single bit
Cons: contact cement (rugby is a brand name) build up that will clug the bearings
Balik ta sa wood putty vs. body filler.. It's totally different especially for applications..
In wood working especially wood.. We don't recommend using body filler..why
Body filler don't absorb finishes.. While wood filler does..
Limitations in using wood fillers..
Wood fillers can fill up to 2mm diameter, more than that plug with same materials..
Other option to fill in pin holes..
Use a saw dust that are fine (saw dust made from sanding) and mixed it with pva adhesive..(white glue) then start filling the pin holes.. Let it dry then sand it with a sand paper..
Body fillers commonly used for automotive finishes..
If you ask me, can i use body filler as an alternative.. It's a No no, especially i'm dealing with stained finish, and how much more on natural finish..
Edge banding:
Use pvc strip as thin as 1mm and it is available in the market.. Hpl can be used but it's hard to trim and handle..
There are also available thicker pvc with pre adhesive. Just heat with a hot iron to bond the pvc to your edge..
Metal vs. wood as carcase for sofa..
For metal: use aluminum..
Pros: easy to produce
Lighter material, just powder coat to protect it from rust
Cons: mag away mo sa upholster kay limited ra ang ma tackeran..
Wood: nahan kaayo ang upholster ani kay dali ra maka buhat sa sofa..
Cons: anayon kung d maayo pag treat sa wood..
Guys sorry if karon ra gyud ko maka reply.. I don't have the luxury of time to answer all your questions but, i make sure to answer them all whenever i can..
