Cutting chrome tile trim

[Lakelander]

i know this may be a stupid question but i'm really struggling to cut a perfect mitre on chrome trim . Tiled half where are you up bathroom wall and want to fit the trim to finsh off the tiles . Both externa and internal corners. Trim im using is is a bull nose. Do i cut the trim lying it flat or on its edge ?

Is this a wind up?

It's Doug setting up a new account.

To the OP - is the issue getting the right angle or actually cutting the metal.
The angle can be obtained by using a mitre block and cutting by using a new junior hacksaw or an old grinder cutting wheel.
Hope this helps - that's what we're here for.

Not a joke really need advice tried cutting 45 degree a few times but can't get angle right

As noted above, use mitre box, if fitting horizontally , if covering top edge of tile,( cut with top of trim uppermost). Hope this makes sense.

In that case accept my apologies, here's a one of many videos available as to how to do it.

The other way is to cut the back of the trim out and gently bend it around to 90 degrees.

Also you're corners may not be entirely square, a small file is useful for making small adjustments.

I use a thin metal cutting wheel on my grinder, about £1.50 for 3 at screwfix. Then I cut by eye, never use a block. I'm within the right region then small alterations to get it spot on.

Especially with a good back bevel.😉
