Hey Phil,

They are easy to use if you follow the instructions. The joints are far
superior to the crappy ally strips you can buy and fit.

You'll need a router of at least 1600W plus and you should be able the
hire these if you don't have one.

I bought a B&Q Performance Pro 2000W router (excellent value at £99)
and
a worktop cutter from Screwfix (the £10 one).  Don't try to cut in one
go, do it in three to four for the best quality cut. Watch the direction
of travel, and in some cases, you need to cut the worktop upside down.
The jig tells you want to do. I would definitely practice on a scrap
piece of  worktop first and do it outside.. It makes a serious mess of
the kitchen if you don't. I know, I did the first cut in there and SWMBO
was not pleased.!! :o)

Make sure you also buy the butterfly clamps to hold it all together. If
your budget allows for it, try to use a biscuit jointer as this makes
alignment of the 2 surfaces a doddle. You can do it without, but life is
much easier with the biscuits.

Good luck.

Regards
Dave...
