Repeatable long cuts with the Kapex & UG (longer than 2400 mm)

[festoller]

I start with a new deck next week, almost 500 m of Bangkirai and decided to use the Domino Deck System. Obviously boards have to be cut to length first, then "Dominoed" and installed. I do have the UG Stand (at least one side), but since a lot of the boards will be more than 4 m in length I am looking for a solution for exact repeatable cuts that go beyond the reach of the UG wing and would work on an uneven construction site.

Using the MFT as an extension is possible, but I would need to install part of the deck first to have a proper workspace.

Hi

I would use a length of batten attatched to the fence, with a stop at the right distance and a roller stand. take care to gently bring the work piece to the stop.

Or have you thought about cutting/trimming once it is fitted with a plunge saw/track?

As mentioned, if the design allows it, run wild, cut with track saw.

Are you sure you need to repeat cuts? Decks I have done where the planks are not long enough to cover the entire surface have staggered joints. Measure, cut to length.

last time I did a deck the only place to install the CMS was the driveway and the project was in the back on very uneven terrain. I ended up building the deck and doing all of the cuts with the Trion and using a carpenter square as a straight edge. I just had to carry the material once and all of my cuts where dead on as the boards where perfectly supported by the deck.
