Ok,

I'm finishing off some tiles to the kitchen and I've decided to run a metal trim across the top.

The trim meets in the corner of the room because it's an L shape kitchen and I was just thinking about the best way to make a seamless joint.

The only think coming to mind is a scarf joint like you would do on the internal angle of skirting but this requires an accurate angled mitre cut and even the slightest deviation will send the joint line out.

I'm short of buying a metal blade for the chop saw, and before anyone suggests a grinder, NO, won't be accurate

Use a hacksaw to cut two mitres, and work out from the inside corner with the trim. Perfection is not necessary.
