Are these the Butech square edge trims from Porcelanosa? I usually use my Briccolina wet saw as they are a nightmare even with a decent hacksaw blade. I then gently file off any burrs. It works out a lot easier and quicker .

No they are form trimline there standered square edge trim its quite a strong trim. ill try the b and q blades i have 10 to burn out now should get me through all the cutting.

I tend to use a fixed mitre box, good hacksaw blades and make a jig from pieces of timber, to hold trim firm. It is not easy, but when everything is secure, Its a lot less effort

I have had an idea been playing around with some small plastic clamps if i clamp the trim to the mitre box its easier to cut so will try that now.

all you need is a £3 mitre block from focus a hacksaw with 32tpi blade in it and basic diy skills.

can use wedges to hold mitre together if it helps.

If you are having trouble cutting the trims you could try putting a piece of wood in to a mitre block to hold the trim steady while you cut it.

why is the trim lipping in the fourth pic ?

L profile trims can be cut square to exact size then use a file to get your 45's

The porc sq box trims I believe are made from brass and plated chrome, I use a large hacksaw to cut the mitre and a metal disc in a grinder to straighten out the cut...

Hope this helps!
