How to Cut CDX Plywood  (Subflooring)

  •Using a pencil, measure the cut which you intend to make into the Luan Plywood.

  •Use a T-Square to connect the marks you made with the pencil to ensure their accuracy and straightness.

  •Place the straight line of the pine, on the line of the C-Clamp, and use a plywood brick spacer on the underside of the Luan wood. - Connect the line with the pencils if not done so

. •Mark the line with a knife, use a circular saw, to complete the cut.

Using CDX Plywood as Flooring

 

 

Using CDX  Plywood as Flooring If you are looking at an inexpesive way to do flooring, you can use CDX Plywood Subflooring, as Finished Flooring. The trick here is to cut the plywood sheets into tiles, about 4x4. You can also do it in 2x2' or 2x4'. This way it doesn't look like you just cheaped out and painted the sufloor. You don't need to pad between the sufloor and the plywood. Use glue and then use screws at the corners.

You can also use glue alone with no screws, however that might result in some curling of the plywood flooring, and of course you don't want that. For the screws, you can spend a little bit of money, and get something different. You can use flat face screws, with 2 dimples. They are called tamper resistant screws, to be honest, I don't think the wood species matters. Just make sure that you buy quality materials. Cost cannot be beat, and you can throw down a mat or carpeting in high traffic areas, for example outside the kitchen or hallways.
