Default Tile trim

Hi,

When cutting external corners on the tile trim around a window, how do you cut the external corners with the hand cutters. You need to hold the trim upright which in turn does not fit in the cutters properly. Any advise?

Using the hand cutters to cut vertical mitres will squash the trim leaving it mis-shapen, do as the lads above say and get a mitre block and junior hacksaw
