Folks, I'm in the process of cutting baseboard and the like to install in the living room after the flooring project. Now for some reason I just can't seem to get this baseboard cut properly. I have lets say a measurement of 6 3/4 and I place the baseboard on the miter saw and I have tried

Scott, I'd deliberately cut it it a bit long and then make a few trips to the miter saw to trim it to ssize. This works better if you are using a power miter saw as I am. Blessings, Tom -Original Message- From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Scott

Thanks Tom and yes, that is what I'm using. If that's what I need to do, then that's what I'll do. However, surely there must be an easier way, but thanks, I'll work it out either way. On Jul 6, 2008, at 3:16 PM, Optasia Ministry wrote: Scott, I'd deliberately cut it it a bit long and then

Where are you mitering to? The usual way to fit baseboards is to cope the inside corners and only miter the outside corners. The next problem is setting the saw correctly. Sighted people have to worry about parallax, that is, looking straight on at a ruler or the line marked on stock to be

The easiest way is to cut the miter and than cope it out. With little or no sight, I find this to be the easiest. Plus the sighted world tells me the miter is great. RJ - Original Message - From: Dale Leavens To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, July 06, 2008 7:44

Well, it is no accident that the cope is the long traditional way of closing an inside corner. Outside corners of course need to be mitered. - Original Message - From: RJ To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, July 06, 2008 9:21 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan]

My approach is to cut it a little long and then sneak up, or maybe I should say down, on it. For the last little bit just let the blade kiss the wood. Regards. Max. K 4 O D S. Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Transistor site http://www.funwithtransistors.net Vacuum tube site:
