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 | ||||||||||

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) | ||||||||||
