kitchen cornice.

[rembrant]

Whats the best way of cutting kitchen cornice accurately, i dont want to ruin any practicing.

 

[Symptoms]

rembrant - in order of preference:

compound mitre-saw (powered) - you can pick these up from the DIY sheds really cheaply, or Screwfix (for £25 - yes £25!!) or from Axminster (they do one for £70) or a big DeWalt for £650 and all price levels between.

manual mitre-saw - about £15

mitre-box - £5 to £10

marked-out then cut 'free-hand' - only for the experienced

Axminster do a Coving & Cornice Mitre Jig that'll fit most hand or powered mitre saws (£11) - it's purpose is to keep the cornice in the correct position whist cutting.

So, you've never done it before? Then it's the 1st 2 options + the jig; practice on scrap timber 'till you are confident. Tip - mark the real cornice with pencil arrows to remind you of cut directions as it's easy to get them wrong.

 

[Diyisfun]

You can hire the compond saw, if its only a 1 off job.

 

[Symptoms]

fun - yes, you can get this tackle from any decent hire shop, for example:

or even something simpler. Practice, practice, practice on scrap timber first.
