Hoping someone can give me a tip about how to get good cuts for
quarter round molding where the angle is greater than 90 degrees. With
a normal corner I have no problem cutting the 45 degree angles but I
have a wall that has a bend/corner which is more like 135 degrees
(just guessing). What is the best technique to get a good miter cut
for quarter round in that corner. I have never used a coping saw so
I'm hoping there is a simpler way to measure the angle and make the
cuts with a miter saw.

Thanks for any advice!

Vic-

For molding, the "correct way" for corner joints is a coping saw (but
it's one detail of finish work at I'm to lazy to do),

wrt to greater than 90 deg "miter" cuts......use a square cut chunk of
2x4 as a 90 deg block and clamp it too the miter saw fence. Place
the 1/4 round against the block and set the saw at 45.

It's a little tricky when the "round" face needs to be against the
block.
