i got a macrist blade on my wet saw, i use that, much easyer not to go offline with it
You can use Metal Trim Cutters like Wall Plasterers use when when they cut the metal trim on the corner of a wall
Hacksaw and 32tpi blade.
Any form of snips will squash the trim in my opinion.
if it one or two cuts fine, but if you have a shedload of mitres or cutting some of the heavy duty stuff the pain of carrying it is greatly outweighed by the ease of cutting and perfect mitres everytime!!!There is no way you will get a accurate mitre using tin snips!! Good mitre box with a 32tpi Hacksaw is the best. Electric drop saws are not very portable, and a pain to get out if you only have a few cuts to make.
Get yourself a good quality file as well, just for fine adjustment after cutting - as not all joins are exactly 45 or 90 deg!
