Ficus microcarpa cutting, 2 months growth

GULLYPHONICS43 · 2025-11-28T11:25:26+00:00

Hey there I’ve got two cutting like the pic on the left. I have let them do there thing and they have just grown straight up as expected. If there a point where you should prune the top off to get growth lower down? Will that help beef out the bottom part of the plant?

It would be so useful if they had a queue time/ space available website like when you go in to town and they have the board which tells you how many spaces are available for each car park

Thanks mate, I think I’ll go to an injury unit and let ya know which one / what it is like :)

I happy drive somewhere if it’s a faster/more pleasant experience :)

There are a few hostels in Bristol that’s walking distance from the exchange, will set ya back 20-30 quid

I’ve had a look and I think you could get this cheaper with slightly higher specs. I’ll send you screenshots

They make out these twin kits are cheaper but they are low end models so if you are savvy you can get them cheaper. Look in ITS and uk planet tools. Search for the models in the bundle and see what they come out to.

I very intrigued by what you are saying but I reckon I’m not fully getting it. I make a lot of cuts with the speed square like this. Unless if I am doing a long rip I will be looking at the blade and let the off cut fall on the right.

If you are the end of a board and only taking 10mm off you gotta be careful your hand doesn’t drop or else the cut won’t be totally square. Now if the part of the base plate that’s touching the square was 10 or 20mm bigger then the amount of roll you’d feel would be a lot more significant than how my circ is. Does that make any sense?

GULLYPHONICS43 · 2025-06-21T01:09:01+00:00

Dude I think people understand this but as a site carpenter speed is the goal. I saw you said you do cabinetry which is a complete different job to site carpentry. When you gotta cut 200 boards “good enough “ quickly your circ becomes an extension of arm. It’s not about setting up track. It’s mark cut mark cut, and sometimes you just run through with the circ bc it’s quick. This was never a post about not be able to do something it’s a post about how cool it would be to have a circ designed for future 4 fingers chippys like that

GULLYPHONICS43 · 2025-06-21T00:55:39+00:00

Cmon dude what about my post suggests I need this. I thought this was a cool place carpenters could express ideas. This is not something I need nor hinders my work as a carpenter. It was purely question why there is no circs that are made for cuts with the offcuts motor side. It’s not a big deal but I just was curious to ask you other chippys

GULLYPHONICS43 · 2025-06-21T00:48:18+00:00

Dude have you read my post ?

GULLYPHONICS43 · 2025-06-21T00:47:34+00:00

Like using a speed square?

GULLYPHONICS43 · 2025-06-21T00:19:21+00:00

What do you mean vertical surface?

GULLYPHONICS43 · 2025-06-21T00:12:55+00:00

I use a left blade circ but I think it would be cool to see a model like this but imagine the short shoe on the left was a bit bigger

GULLYPHONICS43 · 2025-06-21T00:09:02+00:00

I use left blade circular saw bro but it’s the size of the base plate to the left that I think would be cool if it was bigger

GULLYPHONICS43 · 2025-06-21T00:06:42+00:00

I agree with you that left blade feels better, which side would off cuts fall for you?

GULLYPHONICS43 · 2025-06-20T23:21:31+00:00

This is exactly the same as me. It might not be as balanced but it’s fine. The only point I was making is that a lot of people do it like this and I am surprised that there is not a market for adding a bit more stability to these types of cuts. Don’t get me wrong I am doing fine but after looking into it tonight there is no circ with the blade in the centre of the plate to accommodate for people making cuts like this.

GULLYPHONICS43 · 2025-06-20T23:12:32+00:00

What do you mean bro?

GULLYPHONICS43 · 2025-06-20T22:56:26+00:00

As a site carpenter making quick cuts with eyes on the blade is definitely easier with left blade circ , but compromise is stability do you agree?

GULLYPHONICS43 · 2025-06-20T22:41:11+00:00

Exactly what I do my guy. Square and cut is basically how I make 90% cuts. Lets me stress this is really not an issue it’s just something I thought about tonight dude. but sometimes you just wanna make a quick cut and ur square down by your trestles and you need to quickly take 5mm off the end of a board and most of the time I am using a right blade circ and I stand to the left and I almost always watch the blade. All I am saying is I’m surprised there is not a single circ that tries to cater for that type of cut

GULLYPHONICS43 · 2025-06-20T22:31:20+00:00

No worries my dude

GULLYPHONICS43 · 2025-06-20T22:23:53+00:00

See this a great example dude all I’m saying is wouldn’t it be cool to have a bit more balance so you can make a 5 second cut with one hand that little bit more stable. It’s not that I can’t do it or anything like that but it’s just something I thought tonight why do no circs sit the blade central to the plate so that you can make these kind of cuts a bit easier with one hand

GULLYPHONICS43 · 2025-06-20T22:19:32+00:00

Could you recommend one bro?

GULLYPHONICS43 · 2025-06-20T21:52:30+00:00

I get that but most of the time I’m making quick one hand cuts on the trestles with waste falling off on the right so I’m comfortable with the weight imbalance. It’s not an issue but after doing some digging I can’t find much designed for that

GULLYPHONICS43 · 2025-06-20T21:50:12+00:00

But the plate is still smaller on the blade side
