cutting metal trim
Is there an easy way to cut metal trim. I have a mitre block and even a small mitre block for trim, but even with a fine toothed saw it seems there must be an easier way.
can you cut it on an electric mitre saw or will the trim bend??
any answers please

Re: cutting metal trim

Re: cutting metal trim
Long slow strokes of the hacksaw( shush wivs)across the trim etc will make it easier........

Re: cutting metal trim
Hacksaw and then a small file to clean up the burrs. File should go in one direction only, not "sawn" back - n - forth

I prefer the look of metal trim to plastic. (just my preference tho)

Re: cutting metal trim
make sure you cut into the back of the trim so burs are on in side. Works for me
