Well filler it is then :D

This is so frustrating that nobody can give me an easy layman's approach at getting this external cut as close as possible :?: My research said to use a sliding bevel and protractor and find the angle then half it ,set bevel to new angle and transfer this to the skirt and then cut it at the...

Sorry to sound dumb but still cannot understand your method :cry: could i not just get the sliding bevel ,measure the angle ,use a protractor to find what degree the angle is ,then half it and ajust the bevel to that figure then mark it on the skirting board .Then use a sliding mitre saw set...

Sorry but i am a little lost with this explanation :oops: I have just fitted new door frame ,hung a pine door and architrave and done all the internal skirting boards using the scribing method but i am stumped regarding the external looking as good as rest of my work..I did the externals...

When i first tried the cut using mitre box and 45 degree angle the top part of the mitre fitted together ok but there was a wide gap at bottom that would look silly filled as i am keeping it pine.The bottom looked like a tent with i a big gap if you get my drift lol,Can this angle be cut right...

I have done that it's the external that are way off..

sorry i just edited my post above as you replied..Will that argos one make the cut if i use a sliding bevel to find the correct angle degree ?? The wall is well out when i put a square on it ..i have had no troubles doing the internals as i scribed them .

Thanks for the info ...I now have the idea how to use a bevel and protractor .. Am i right in saying place the sliding bevel in the angle i want to measure ..lock the bevel then check with protractor what angle degree it is then half this and reset the bevel on protractor :?: now all i need is...

The angle of this external angle is well out..My mitre box is the yellow plastic box from b&q.. Which other mitre saw from the sheds work with a sliding bevel so i can cut the angle at any degree ?? thanks. will this one cut most angles ...

I have ordered a sliding bevel ,but never used one before ..I have had a look on the net about using one for fitting skirting boards etc that are not a true 90 degree's angle.Can i use the bevel by placing it on the corner that i want to find the angle then transfer it straight to say a skirting...

Hi the skirting boards are staying pine and i am gonna stain them with clear varnish.Had enough of gloss .

Just wondered if anyone can give me a few tips on fitting skirting board at external joint that is well out because of recent plastered walls. I have managed to fit skirting board in my bedroom but one external joint won't line up right even though i have mitered the joints at 45 degrees...

Thank you for that. Zap

. How did i do :wink:

Ah i am starting to understand now lol .Thank you. Zap

Thanks everyone for the insight .The cooker we have in the school workshop does say 240v on the label and we were told to use this figure when working out our answers. The reason i originally asked was that the element we have has 4 terminals, wires going to and from it... Brown wire i...

Hi this is not a specific course as such ,we are learning the fundamentals of electricity and fault finding in our science class where we are set a number of tasks on various subjects.This months is to do with appliances so hence why i am trying to understand better about the fault finding of...

Ok guys lol i did not mean to sound like i am being lazy lol. we were told to find out the answers any way we wanted but needed to understand the principle that got us the answer. The info of the element that we was given was that it was 2500w . Now i know using ohms law that the...

Hello ,first post so go easy lol. I am studying electricity and would like a few pointers for my homework. Am i right in thinking for example say "a cooker oven element". That 240v (uk ) travels from the live wire through the load (element) and back out through the neutral wire..Would the...
