Cutting Metal Trim

[ChiversTiling]

I used to cut them in tiny metal mitre block, but got fed up with it as the 2.4m length trim moved alot using the hacksaw so I ended up making my own mitre block, what do you lads use to make your life easier, like hearing how other tilers do it there way

Just ordered one of these, they were designed by a tiler http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genesis-m...qi=RTM1793693&clk_rvr_id=729696298645&afsrc=1

Looks ok, I might try and invent what I made, it's easy to use and stops the trim from moving and gets ya 45degrees spot on

The one I linked does exactly that....

There you go,



These were done in a blue homelux box..

I'm going to get the one that Deano designed when I'm back in CTD.
I was using my Quansol box today, I keep forgetting I have it..

Nice cuts but don't ya find that the length moves a lot?

Not if you hold it between your knees on the deck & hold the box tight & turn into a contortionist to cut it.. [emoji6] [emoji1][emoji1]

I use my cordless grinder with a thin metal cutting blade

As above, swap out the blade on the angle grinder for a thin dronco carbon blade and the worlds smallest combination square.
Window trimmed in ten minutes!
