Saws, knives and panel cutting systems – tools that make work easier
If you are planning to lay floor panels, step number one is to cut them properly. Cutting is not a complicated task, but it should be even, efficient and preferably dust-free. The basic tool for cutting panels is a hand guillotine. Faster and most precise cutting of floor panels is possible with power tools, especially electric jigsaws. Usually, both a hand guillotine and an electric jigsaw are used during work.
The first tool is used to make straight cuts, and the second is used to cut details. If you want highly precise processing, including both straight and angled cuts, you will need an electric miter saw. Traditionalists, on the other hand, like to reach for classic hand saws for wood. Special knives are great for precise and stable cutting of vinyl panels, especially for cutting out curves and shapes.
Mounting accessories: bases, wedges and strips available at the Onninen wholesaler
In the Onninen construction wholesaler you will find a wide range of assembly and finishing accessories used when laying floor panels. Our assortment includes skirting boards, protective films, underlays for panels, wedges and many other products.

You will certainly also need a carpenter's pencil with a special graphite insert, designed for convenient, precise and durable marking of wood and other materials. It is an irreplaceable tool for measuring, cutting, marking cuts and installing panels.
