Hi folks, I badly need some help in cutting the cornice pieces for my kitchen cabinets.
I have cut the first 45deg angle fine but when I try to cut the angle at the other end of the piece I can't seem to get the position right.
Here's the problem I have. I mark off the measurement on the underside of the cornice at the point where the angle changes. With the cornice on the mitre saw, oriented as it would be fitted to the cabinet, the cut mark is now underneath the work.
How do I cut to the correct distance as it is very difficult to judge where that mark is in relation to the blade. Lining up the mark with the reference mark on the cutter does not work because of the width of the base of the cornice,
If i make the mark on the back of the cornice instead, would this work. I don't want to waste any more cornice trying out these hit and miss trials.
Any help greatly appreciated. thanks.
