Hey folks,

Just as the title reads. I'm hoping some of the modifying experts here can chime in & point me in the right direction. I'm looking to reduce the overall side of my desk & I'd like to do it nicely. I want it to have a smooth finish & overall clean look when I'm done.

The problem is I don't know which power tools are best for this application. I don't want the cheapest tool on the planet, but I don't want to spend over $100 on it either. I may not ever even use the tool after this project.

So, if you wouldn't mind, point me in the direction of the power cutting / trimming tool & also a good sander when I'm done cutting. The wood on the desk is about 1" thick & it looks like a laminate particle board (I'm not a wood expert, but that's what it looks like).

There's a picture of the desk in my (Pics) section below.

Thanks in advance.

You'll need to find matching laminate. Then cut down the desk and glue the laminate to the exposed edge.
