Cutting plastic trim?

[bobbin]

What are you guys using to cut your trim, normal hacksaw?
I have always done it this way, and for the metal trims for obvious reasons, but I noticed that Hep2O plumbing pipe is cut using shears.
Then I found this - http://www.*************.co.uk/modul...mitre-cutters1
What do you reckon, will it work, I'm not sure if the pressure on the plastic will bend it out of shape?

Use 'shears' on some makes of trim but has a tendency to 'squeeze' the trim before cutting and not giving a true mitre.
Link probably 'lost' to to not being one of our sponsors!

Link isn't one of the sponsors, better not put the name up then!

Same for me. I occasionaly use the snips when cutting plastic trim but only with straight cuts as they tend to be rubbish for mitres.

There are certain words that are set up to be automatically removed in the system. Unfortunately I can't tell what you had.

I'll pm you the site, must be a rival seller to those who advertise on here. Don't want to upset anyone, so pm is the way forward I think
