Anybody know what the angles needs on a mitre saw are to make coving fit
flush in a 90deg corner.

It isn't a 45 deg cut made vertically :-)



Oh yes it is!. There are 4 types of cut you can make. Think about it. Is it
an inside or outside corner?
Depending on whether its the left or right hand piece you can make an inside
or outside 45 deg cut depending on how you position it in your mitre box.

Its easiest if you make the 4 types of cut in some scrap cove before you
start, then for each corner work out which type of cut you require by plying
around with the cut pieces.


exactly the way I did it using a £1.99 cheapo plastic guide from B&Q.

decide which cut you need to do then lay the 'template' corner on the
coving to be cut, place the guide flush with the angle on the template
cut with a fine tooth saw, jobs a goodun
