    Another suggestion to finding the angle:, Before you start any outside corners, cut some sample blocks with a 45, 45.5 and 46 degree angle. Use them to check your angle at each outside corner as you go.
    Much faster and fool proof.

    I'm sitting in my living room staring at a huge pile of skirting that needs fitted in practically every room in the house. I have to thank you for putting this videos up. I was just about to start today and I'd have gone in with a totally different tactic! Your advice has saved me from making a complete arse of the entire job. I'm going to scribe my internal corners instead of angled cuts. It has all become clear now!! Cheers mate.

      @adrianek12102008 2 года назад

      In all fairness you CAN angle cut your internal corners too, it will just not allow for much wall imperfections. If your walls are bang on 90 degrees I never had issues angling internal corners. With not so ideal walls, scribing the corner gives a bit of manoeuvre to join them more neatly. With angled cut you’d have to fill the gap with caulk and paint it to hide imperfections.

    @supertavshan 5 лет назад +7

    yep this bloke knows what he's doing - although it helps to have a fancy chop saw and a sliding bevel -- . Four corner rooms are easy but if you've got to go round an old chimney breast and do external mitres Id get a decent chippy to do it rather than pissing around for days on end bisecting angles, filing off 45 degree mitres than don't fit, cutting mitres the wrong way and generally getting REALLLY ANGRY.

      Tammy J Boudreaux For example, if your angle is 98 degrees, you don't divide it by 2. Here's how you do it. 180-98= 82. Then 82/2=41. There's your angle to cut.

    I take a couple of scraps and make them 46 degrees and try them. Then make an angle adjustment off the results (make them 45 and 1/2 or 46 and 1/2 or whatever it is), Then set the saw to that angle not messing with that angle finder square.

    • @ChrisNobodySpecial
      @ChrisNobodySpecial 5 лет назад +1

      My method exactly. Also, with my Rigid compound miter, it has a 12" blade and I can cut all angles on most materials without tilting the blade, the only exception being on compound angle cuts. It can cut stock that is
      7 3/4" thick/wide. If the angle is slightly acute or obtuse, I wag it a couple of degrees one way or the other and it works out.
