Worktop cutting blades

Post by bohboh »

We have had two quotes for cutting a cheapish Worktop , we were told we have to pay 80 quid for the cutting blade, what blade are they referring to? Is this normal?

The router bit used to cut the worktop. Router bits will only do a few cuts (less than 6) in laminate worktop before they loose their cutting edge. £80 seems a bit excessive though, a very decent bit would cost about half that. How much cutting was involved?

It depends what is normal....................I quote for the job and not the job plus a cutter.

Are they charging you 57 pence for wear and tear on the router, plus 15 pence for the transformer lol.
