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

seems there is no easy way the pro's all use blocks but I might have to hake some form of clamping block to hold it
thanks all

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

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)

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