Cutting Tile Trim | 3 Way Mitre with Pictures

[devonmark]

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.

The 3 way is a lovely finisher...shows class, many thanks to Devo for taking the time to do the tutorial many moons ago.....

[Burnsy]

Great post mate. I got shown how to do it a while ago and then forgot! Good to see it in pictures. I had a couple of practices last nite and they seem to be fine. Ill try it on a proper job next week so thanks. I agree, it does add a 'touch of class'.

Thanks for taking the time to post pics it is a great help.

[rob]

Thanks for that mate, I am going to try that next job I do.

PS: does the trim have to be exactly quarter round to work???

[oldgit]

any tips for getting the exact half cuts at the second stage.
personally still prefer proper corners but this is well handy in an emergency,and if i can get them neat enough who knows..............
