Lots of good advice here. One trick to help your chop saw 45 to come out accurate is to actually put a clip style hanger in the gutter when cutting so it is the propper width and doesnt bounce at all during the cut. by guess is the template being a tiny bit off is why the miter doesnt quite match up. Either way great video!
Custom miters are simple, miter saw helps yes. Though thing to remember is no matter what profile or size the critical measurements are your top opening and the bottom trough. No two ogee gutters are alike so if your making patterns for multiple machines or profiles they will need to be specific.
good video...just score that top lip with a razor knife, alot faster than sniping every 2 inches...corner looks good, I use the zip screw then take it out and insert rivet...clean look
@@giuchici4 Definitely would be worth learning. And not only set you apart from competition but save you time on installs and money from not buying box miters and using 3x as much caulking. Let me know if you have any suggestions for upcoming videos! Thanks James!
@@onegutterguy560 a video on tips for measuring. Like, measures when trying to see distance between elbows for a downspout. Or when doing outside or inside custom miters, where to measure, like do you wanna measure exactly to the edge of the fascia or an inch off etc
All good and dandy BUT,looking the other way and watch for your fingers is no substitute for goggles and leather gloves,You want to look at what you're doing,and where your fingers are,also a short piece of 2x4 inside the gutter will insure it won't go anywhere while you're cutting it...
@@onegutterguy560Maybe I should clarify. How many teeth does the blade have? Is it a 40 tooth blade? It should say on the side of the blade. in general for wood, rough cut 24-40 teeth. Fine woodworking 80 -100 teeth. For laminate, I have a special blade that has 4 teeth. Hard to tell on the video but it looks like a 40 tooth blade.
What kind of blade is that?? I just bought a metal blade and it broke the gutter up in chunks and send big pieces flying.. should I just use a general purpose carbide blade instead?
It's a general purpose / wood blade. But I know that the blades with smaller and alot more teeth work better. I bought one when I first bought the saw but the blade that came with it works so have yet to switch over.
@@aarongarcia3798 maybe the wood blade does work better. I mean it works for me. Of course make sure your letting the saw get up to full speed as well before you cut. And use a big enough chuck of gutter where you can hold it down securely. Thanks for the feedback let me know if you get it to work
Should have showed a real corner install and trim of the template if need be. P.s in15 years ur back will hate you for having to bob and weave under the gutter to cut on other side of each outside
I personally like standing up straight and looking down on the gutter. Or you would be crouched down cutting it out. But I have marked the outside before to cut out with a little piece on the ground flipped over.
@@onegutterguy560or just take that template you made and cut another template out that you can slap on the outside if you know the gutters getting painted or have paint
If u believe in God u should believe in humbleness my friend, I guess not everybody can be smart enough to instantly accept big mistakes and learn about it. I know u feel like a master doing tutorials but u should check some safety tutorials or at least read the manufacturer manual.
another video that fail to provide enough info about how to determine where to mark cut lines and critical measurements. Also another example of youtube's policy of not showing negative likes so views can make informed judgement about weather to watch.

Thanks for the great vid. I’m in northwest and wanna start hanging gutters soon and this was helpful bc I don’t wanna use the box miter method!
No problem!
Leave it up to your customer if they want the box or strips why yessa masta will that be all
Great vid, thanks for the tip!
Invest in some lefty snips any gutter dude worth a damn has both probably some perpendicular snips as well for those pesky shave cuts on insides
good video...just score that top lip with a razor knife, alot faster than sniping every 2 inches...corner looks good, I use the zip screw then take it out and insert rivet...clean look
Heck yeah man thanks for the feedback!
Comment if you have any questions about how I install gutters! And tell me how you think it turned out! Thank you for watching. NOW SUBSCRIBE 🤙
Turned out great. No one here does custom cut. So if I can get good at it, gonna give me a huge advantage

Have you given any thought on a miter saw and safety glasses ?
Yes I mentioned it in the video and that's why I closed my eyes and looked away haha
Do you ever use the miter saw to actually cut the gutter itself?
What saw blade do you use to cut the metal template?
Just a regular blade that came on the saw.

Crazy, I bought and used the metal blade with smaller teeth and it chewed up the gutter

I finally got it! Thank you for your videos, they are so helpful!
@@aarongarcia3798 Heck Yeah!! No problem happy I can help!
Brother let me come work for you for the experience.
Where are you located? Lets knock it out!

Wouldn't it be easier to put the line on the outside of gutter not inside

This man can use Googles but he chooses to close eyes and turn his face other way while cutting with a dangerous machine xD
My middle name is danger 😎😂
@@onegutterguy560 I think there's another word that fits u better.
