Cutting Metal Trim - Tile Advice

[ChiversTiling]

I used to cut them in tiny metal mitre block, but got fed up with it as the 2.4m length trim moved alot using the hacksaw so I ended up making my own mitre block, what do you lads use to make your life easier, like hearing how other tilers do it there way

Looks ok, I might try and invent what I made, it's easy to use and stops the trim from moving and gets ya 45degrees spot on

There you go,



These were done in a blue homelux box..

I'm going to get the one that Deano designed when I'm back in CTD.
I was using my Quansol box today, I keep forgetting I have it..

Nice cuts but don't ya find that the length moves a lot?

Not if you hold it between your knees on the deck & hold the box tight & turn into a contortionist to cut it.. [emoji6] [emoji1][emoji1]

I use my cordless grinder with a thin metal cutting blade

As above, swap out the blade on the angle grinder for a thin dronco carbon blade and the worlds smallest combination square.
Window trimmed in ten minutes!

Best thing on the market to cut trim is a Quansol mitre block. Just google search it and you will find a supplier they are an idea that originated in New Zealand. Once you've used one of these you'll be amazed how easy it is to cut trims accurately time after time.
