Cornice angle for Mitre Saw

[Joe100w]

I have got some cornice to fit from Howdens.

How do I find the exact angle to set for the Bevel and Mitre on my electric mitre saw.

I have to be cut flat as it is too tall and hit the guard on the saw if I try to cut it at 45 degrees.

There is no instruction on the cornice box about what angle to cut it at.

Thanks.

they have to be cut at them angles but to be fair there never spot on anyway always lots of amending to them to get them to sit right horrible job cornices lol

No Fox, it is not too small. Have a look at that utube link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akgZlJaaBK8&feature=related

From big all that is an excellent link.


I have also just found a chart with all the angle for bevel and mitre cutting on the net which is what I was looking for.

Thanks for all the replies.
