| Cutting Tile Trim | 3 Way Mitre with Pictures | | Here I am going to attempt to guide you through a the cutting of a 3 way mitre.
picture 1 is of the 3 way mitre.
trim for the top of the mitre is laid flat in the mitre box as in pic 2, after you have cut the mitre you then stand the trim up and cut the mitre in half (the opposite way) as in pic 3, this will then give you a point as in pic 4
next you cut the piece the for the downward trim, you cut this in the opposite to the top piece, cut your mitre in the normal way with the trim standing up, then you lie it flat and cut it in half the opposite way as in pics 5 and 6.
hope this helps with some of the confusion...Mark. | Plastering & Tiling Solutions. |
