what is the best way to cut plastic trim

[Alan M]

hi there.
i have been cutting mine with a hack saw and a home made miter block. the accuracy isnt 100% but its fairly close and it wont cut shower trim.iv seen cutters that are like a handheld guilitine.
how do these cutters work. will they squash the trim or leave a gap in the miter. i need a better miterblock (for metal) but they are slower and need a larger working space.


how do you cut your plastic trim

thanks alan

Just a mitre block and a hacksaw with a 32 teeth per inch blade.

I use an angle grinder, diamond disc for plastic and metal cutting disc for aluminium/Chrome

Try not to use plastic these days. Polished or satin metal looks quality and use square blocks for internal/external corners. Customers love them

It's a DIY product and looks pants.

i have to agree that it doesnt look that great on the ends if their exposed. what way do you end on the top of a bath or shower tray

Hi Alan, good tight fit to wall, seal bath/shower tray prior to tiling. Then again after tiling

Didnt think anybody used anymore, cause more problems than they solve in my opinion.
