    Changing the degree on your miter isnt going to solve the gap you had from the top to the bottom of your base. You have to adjust the bevel/compound on your saw to fix that issue.

      @@estenanm13 what you do is buy a coping saw and on one side leave it flat to the wall then. You take the other piece and 45degree it and take the hand coping saw and follow the inside where the paint is still on the trim if it’s stain grade of the 45 degree at a slight back angle. Just look up on you tube how to cope trim and they have the process on it. Coping means to follow the profile of the trim.

      I'm going to go ahead and say I disagree really.
      Generally I hear people say "Measure to 45¾° or 44¼°", and that's where you get the sloppy inside miters that are close but just not quite there. Coping is great to get that perfect result, but if you can get the same result in 3 seconds of measuring and cutting, this is superior to the other methods.

    You have a gap on your baseboard because your miter saw is not calibrated. You have to adjust the blade so your cut are straight both vertically and flat. If you re doing professional work make sure you use your tools proficiently

    • @OldManLuffy
      @OldManLuffy Год назад +3

      That can happen wether youre bevel is dead on 0 degree and your cuts at 45 degrees. Not all walls are perfectly level and square it doesn't have anything to do with your miter saw not being "calibrated"

    I just cut every outside miter at 45.5 or 46. I prefer to cope inside 90s, but have plenty of tricks for metering inside corners.
    Thankfully, the custom homes we work in use tall flat base with a really tight round over so we can often but the inside 90s unless it's a job that demands inside miters on flat stock

      No need to cope 2 1/2 white baseboard. Crown always cope but that tiny trim just get it tight. Even a cope can have a gap cause drywall at bottom is pushed in. Sometimes not just the corner 45 but your vertical is not strait either them you got set baseboard flat and cut on angle too.
