Deck tape. You put it on top of all the joists and noggins before you lay the decking

Not if you break the center out, but that might be awkward 250mm deep

What about a hole saw?

Yes of course, but I've seen people in the past struggle to measure and mark both mitres on a piece of wood then cut them afterwards, so it's worth pointing out 👍

Best thing to do is cut a mitre on one end of your timber first, then measure from the point of that mitre the width of the planter plus your 50mm and then mark and cut the second mitre. That way you're not trying to cut two mitres perfectly to the length lines on each piece just the one.

I normally only use my coping saw for cutting scribes on skirting, for this I have the skirting facing me and have the coping saw blade cutting on the push stroke, if I had it cutting on the pull stroke I would either have to work from the back of skirting or risk it tearing out when working...

That's why battery level indicators were invented. Never have to worry about flat batteries. The procore 8ah batteries I've got from bosch really do seem to last forever, even in my grinder or circular saw. I suppose working with corded tools is not so much of an inconvenience in the workshop...

Why not just drill the hole and roundover the edges? A bit of sanding and you're good to go?

5x100 on 4x2 5x80s on 3x2

Is the bit dropping down? You mentioned the collet was still tight, are you sure the depth adjustment on the machine isn't moving? Put the router on the bench with the plunge locked and see if you can push the machine into the base

While we're on the subject, can I use my dewalt one for chipboard flooring, fixing plywood etc? Will the senco pz2 bits and screws work in my dewalt gun?

I've just got a dewalt one, only used it a few times so far and it takes a bit of getting used to. I find it really awkward to use to screw inside corners with it.

Not really, a small 1/4" router with a decent bearing guided bit is perfect for this. Once you've tried it you'll be wondering why you bothered with planes. So easy.

I would add roughly 10mm wiggle room either side and a bit more above aswell so make the opening in the stud... Width: 1620 height: 2050 Any gaps are covered by plasterboard/architrave so give yourself plenty of room. There's nothing worse than trying to squeeze a doorframe into an opening...

As far as drill bits go, the blue bosch multi construction bits in a cordless combi would be perfect for this.

This is mine, cheap and comfortable.

I use a plano one most days, picked it up off ebay brand new for about 8 quid.The only thing I would change is next time I would get one with a metal hammer hoop instead of the fabric one I've got as sometimes it's difficult to get the hammer in without two hands.

Pointy end down 👍🤣

If you're feeling flash you can store them in an egg incubator, the heat keeps the rust at bay and they get turned automatically so you don't need to worry
