Hi all, just finished trimming the size and making a cutout in a laminated timber benchtop to fit a new induction cooktop. Are there any tips on how to fill a gap between the new benchtop and the older one? It's got a crackle crush design. Secondly, looking for suggestions on getting an appropriate planer to widen out the cutout I made. I've been using an ozito orbital sander but it seems to take a fair bit of effort and time. I used a jigsaw to make the cutout and the cuts are a bit uneven. I've been using a combination square to help me identify some of the problem areas and then tried sanding it down to make it more even. But similar to before, I find it a bit time consuming and effortful. Any suggestions or do I just need to be patient? Thanks!
