Changing the degree on your miter isnt going to solve the gap you had from the top to the bottom of your base. You have to adjust the bevel/compound on your saw to fix that issue.
Cutting standing up vs cutting flat down different method
Funny how guys like this sharing knowledge how to do this type of work and people just hate with comments . Nice work brotha. Thanks for sharing this video . Stay blessed
He's made the video to advertise and sell a product. He's not bothered that it still wouldn't fit at the bottom of it fitted at the top.
I use this exact mitre gauge. Great stuff brother 💪
Caulking does miracles as well 😂
Yup and thats why your corners look like ass and the homeowners have to clean up your mess every few years because you used the "hide my laziness" miracle caulk
99.99% of carpenters are a mess at caulking
@@RCA_Domethey didn’t get enough practice on your mother?
A little caulk and paint they’ll never know the difference
I was gonna say. Some mud will fix anything.
Or you could cut 45’s and make the miters tight, then caulk at the wall. That way you are correcting the walls and it will look better. Trust me
What does it mean to "make the miters tight?"
@@alexise5376- Make sure the two sections of wood meet where they should and then attach to the wall. Any gaps that remain can be filled with caulk.
@@station-7 thank you
@@station-7what if the gap isn’t small but quite a few degrees off, thus leaving a larger gap? Caulk it?
I watch a lot of videos but you gave me a piece of the puzzle I was missing. Angle finding tools. Thanks. Great video. I'm a new subscriber
Very well explained 💯no too much bs .....I can see what you showing 👍💪I'm going to buy me one it seems pretty handy💪 excellent vid bro
The miter square does not solve the the bevel degree unless you hold it against the floor and against the wall upright
A little caulk and paint will make a carpenter what he ain't!!!
Very few carpenters are good at finish work tbh
Yeah , we have heard this 100000000000000000000000000000000 times before so original
@@Gregoman89 nobody is perfect
Good work
Nice 👍🏽
Always have a hammer on you for when you just can't get that miter tight no matter how you cut it cause drywallers left a chunk of mud down there. Beat the corner in to tighten up that 45 but just don't beat over your trim line.
🤣🤣🤣
u r not joking right? 😂
@@ninocarrillo783no it’s pretty common for all sorts of trim work. Baseboard, door casing, window casing, sills. Drywall and mud tend to cause a lot of imperfections. Beating or removing material that will be covered anyways doesn’t hurt anything if you can get your trim work installed nicer
On all inside corner you should cope. Out side are 45and if you have gaps you can adjust the angle as needed.
What does cope mean ? I just started learning to install floors and i have a little trouble when im cutting 45s for the baseboards. Thanks for the help 👍🏼
@@estenanm13 what you do is buy a coping saw and on one side leave it flat to the wall then. You take the other piece and 45degree it and take the hand coping saw and follow the inside where the paint is still on the trim if it’s stain grade of the 45 degree at a slight back angle. Just look up on you tube how to cope trim and they have the process on it. Coping means to follow the profile of the trim.
@@martyclack8782 thank you, will do ! I appreciate the reply.
@@estenanm13 th-cam.com/video/tQ21WE4KGfw/w-d-xo.html There are many ways to cut the profiles besides this one.
I'm going to go ahead and say I disagree really.
Generally I hear people say "Measure to 45¾° or 44¼°", and that's where you get the sloppy inside miters that are close but just not quite there. Coping is great to get that perfect result, but if you can get the same result in 3 seconds of measuring and cutting, this is superior to the other methods.
That was Perfect
I was told do outside at 45 3/4" and inside at 44 1/4" and it will work out?
How would you do the inside corners ?
Hey Im Literally about to go to the hardware storea nd get a miter protractor. You think thats all Id need if I have that angle saw too"?
Is Coving, ( I hope this is the correct word 😂), ever used for this? Sorry, my head is about to blow off. TYSM for sharing.👍🏻
Coping? Yes, that's a professional way to it but often even many pros won't do it.b
No internals always a scribe
How do you do this the other way?.. like if the angle goes inwards, not outwards?..
You scribe the internal corners. At the end, he showed a mitred corner, which you don't do because it will split open eventually with expansion and shrinkage... leaving an unsightly gap.
@@Problimaticthank you!
You have a gap on your baseboard because your miter saw is not calibrated. You have to adjust the blade so your cut are straight both vertically and flat. If you re doing professional work make sure you use your tools proficiently
That can happen wether youre bevel is dead on 0 degree and your cuts at 45 degrees. Not all walls are perfectly level and square it doesn't have anything to do with your miter saw not being "calibrated"
Perfect explanation , no fluff all east straight to the point
Thank you so much!
The problem is if your walls aren't plum or square to the floor, which they usually arent, that anglel willnt give you a perfect miter.
Nice
Here's a secret there almost never 45 degrees.
Heres a secret just go 45 degeress and caulk it
Here's a secret (it's not). It's spelt they're. Learn what a contraction is before you try to give advice.
@0kJaymie I've built houses for the last 25 years. I'm not sure what spelling has to do with carpentry. I apologize if I offended you and your boyfriend.
@@abramworley5344 No ones offended. I’m just not going to take advice from a dumbass. No offense
@@0kJaymie lol, how can you call yourself correcting someone and being completely wrong?
Screw that, who makes that glue and spray? Home Depot and Lowe's don't carry it.
You don’t do a internal mitre on skirting you scribe one onto the other
Or just use a standard bevel
i have a plastic one. metal is nice if i can find one
Amazon very cheap too
Do a corner with that protractor
I just cut every outside miter at 45.5 or 46. I prefer to cope inside 90s, but have plenty of tricks for metering inside corners.
Thankfully, the custom homes we work in use tall flat base with a really tight round over so we can often but the inside 90s unless it's a job that demands inside miters on flat stock
If those tricks are still impressive to you you probably haven’t install thousands of miles of crown moulding and baseboards
@@alcidephilibert what do you mean? What tricks?
Allow me to introduce caulk
I actually can do the same exact thing with a wedge and caulk. Saves me a ton. Don’t listen to these content people. They are just looking for a paycheck. 😂
Ive worked in hoses where the walls would be cricket as fuck ive worked in a bouse were they were inhad to rendo the bass board 3 times over becaue the walls were kicket as shot the floor qaved the wals waves i could not mat up wall to wal or the walls to the floor .pure i struction to the home owner they wanted all bas bords flushed to the ground wit h made the bords uneven at the corners then they wanted them flat aganst the walls witch seperated the bat bord from eachother on the coner some from the top and soem from the bottem so what i had to do at the end is put is 45 at each angle line the bords up as closs to be ach wall the tje floor as clod as i could wotjout seperatimg tje coners of tje bord and coulking in all the gapes an there were alot of them . The home owners kept saying the walls and floors were perfectly strait they were ralking out their ass
jesus christ bro are you ok? did you vomit on your keyboard?
Nice... but he'll use that for a little while after he been in the same room 8hrs. 45 degrees hardly exist since don't be disappointed.
A true craftsman doesn't miter an inside corner
If that wall is out of square, your protractor ain't gonna do squat. Changing the degree. Is going to make it worse too
You can calk your iPhone as well, trust me, calk lovers, it works 😂
Do you know something new that is and old trick
I'm going to get one
You should be coping the inside corners not 45s
Why cope your inside corners? Do you cope your crown molding???
@@javierortiz5688
I always cope inside corners on base with a top detail. Always cope insides on crown.
Pro's only do that
No need to cope 2 1/2 white baseboard. Crown always cope but that tiny trim just get it tight. Even a cope can have a gap cause drywall at bottom is pushed in. Sometimes not just the corner 45 but your vertical is not strait either them you got set baseboard flat and cut on angle too.
Exactly! Outside 45s inside cope fits everytime unless 😂🤣
how about inside corners?
Are you just trying to gaslight us? Have you ever used a chop saw? Anything left or right of 90 (zero degrees) is greater. There is a brief moment in the video where you can see the numbers on the saw table.
I can cut perfect miters all day long, but when a wall is not plumb a corner is not square and a floor is not level that’s a different story ; cope , scribe , caulk because in production trim you have to hurry boyeeee!!!
😂😂😂 . You dont cut internal mtrs you scribe the skirting boured into the other boured . You only cut external mtrs .
I bought this thank you
Never use a mitre on a internal 😢
You've must never have worked with high end deco mouldings.
I miss the evo videos 📹 😢
Does anyone cope?
45 degree miter. On outside cornes
Coaping cup, on inside corners.
Its coping
don't mitre inside corners
All 45 ain't 90 at the joint
Just be like Sam Smith and use the caulks
47degrees then?
Now if I can just figure out how to measure the cut
I start a hair longer than needed and will go back to the saw if it doesn’t work…usually it ends up being the right size after the blade kerf but if not i shave just a touch off and works good for me
@@strizzy239 yeah I normally go a 32nd or 16th longer to make the fit easier and caulk it
Cope them corners
This dude is my brother. Always aim for perfect!🤌
🙏🏽😊 thank you brother!
Is this guy serious?!
Yes why?
Are YOU serious?!
Heres the "ive been doin this for 50 years" guy
I hate that glue, I have much better luck with basic wood glue
Lol
Damnit man you know you sheet
It’s not a piano ,
Imagine taking advice from a dude who uses an $80.00 Chicago Harbor Freight chop saw! Just kidding!! They work fine! Take it apart and replace the cheap ball bearing that locks it on angels. It will lock up on you. It's made of pot metal.
Thats actually a Craftsman, I got the same one
Craftsman miter. Not chop saw
I have the Bauer 12" sliding miter saw. It's very powerful for cutting 2x lumber. Why do I mention this? IDK but I just had to.
@@dangrimes5078 I used to trim 2400 sqft houses ( doors, base, crown) by myself before I find the employees and I used dewalt slider
Just put some caulk in the gap nobody will ever know
When it shrinks in a week youll notice
HE DIDN'T CUT 47 DEGREES! HE CUT 43 DEGREES! People look, when the blade is straight out it's at 90 degrees. When he moved off the 45 he went LEFT which makes the angle SMALLER!! 47 Would be 2 lines to the RIGHT!!
YES HE DID!!! When the blade is straight out it's at 0....
@@scottward2366t's insane how you think you're right. When the blade is straight out it's at 90degrees from the fence! It doesn't matter what the number on the dial says! Duh! When you cut a board with the blade straight out you're cutting it at 90 degrees! Duh! So as you move the blade left the angle gets SMALLER! SO WHEN YOU GET TO 45 AND MOVE LEFT THE ANGLE CONTINUES TO GET SMALLER! DUH! If you put a carpenter's square against the blade and the fence that's 90 degrees! Hello duh!
@@whopua look at the numbers on the mitersaw.. It has nothing to do with the saw blade in relation to the fence.. 🤦♂️ the angle of the cut on the board is what those numbers are...
@@whopua 0° being cutting board in half... every tick one way or the other you are increasing the angle cut on the board... From 0° up to somewhere around 50° for most miter saws....
@@scottward2366because you can't understand simple concepts here's a video that proves I'm right and you and the guy who made this video are totally wrong. It's important you leave your incorrect comments up so people can learn from them. th-cam.com/video/R0vletGErUE/w-d-xo.html
Just make it a 45 like it’s supposed to be that’s what finish carpentry is for to fix everything that’s not rite
Don't miter inside corners
Miter outside corners, COPE inside corners
👍👍👍👍
The mitre is only half the problem, bevel also.... Cope inside,
