Bending CDX Plywood

Best Way to Bend CDX Plywood :

  Set the depth of the saw so that you don't cut through the wood all the way. Leave a 1/8 to 1/16 of wood at the bottom, so you don't go all the way through the plywood. 

 Then, mark the wood, and cut in to your desired points along the wood paneling. Again, do not cut the plywood all the way, otherwise you'll break or cut through the wood. You just want to cut enough through to make the board flexible. 

 Next step is to make the Curving shape from a piece of wood. This will act as a jig for bending the work piece. So, the curve must be as deep as you want the curve in the work piece to be. Save the piece of  wood that you make the cut out for. 

 Position the plywood that you have made the incisions into so that you make it flexible in the jib, and then clamp them together to sit overnight. The plywood will be shaped as you desire when you return to check on it.
