I do all of this on my chopsaw and my internals and externals are like uncle bens .... perfect results everytime... this is a good video nice set plumb square and flat finish... in the real world of home decor its not that perfect but when you practice your methods you can purrfect your method to a tee...
I fail to understand the need for the angle or drawing lines on the ceiling, you're cutting at 45 degrees anyway without taking either the ceiling lines or whatever angle you were measuring. But reading the comments i see i went wrong by cutting it flat in the mitre box and not angled! Gonna give that a go now!
Hi - agree that it is slightly confusing. There is also a (very expensive) tool that can cut to any angle (hence the confusing additional stuff) but that is really only aimed at the tradesmen who do this for a living. It is actually the manufacturers' video production (not ours) and we would definitely have done it differently! Re cutting flat in the mitre box, that is the most common mistake people make if they have never cut coving before. Hope you have got it sorted now...
@@davidwarner2784 thanks, got it right , had to place the cornice in the mitre box with the ceiling edge of the cornice flush to the bottom of the mitre box and the bottom edge of the cornice flush against the side of the mitre box. Worked like magic. I still dont know why the cut has to be from the bottom edge and not the ceiling edge but it just works.
Can you explain how the corners are supposed to mate up when cut in a mitre box? Corner cuts must be angled in 2 different planes to give correct profile.A simple 45 degree cut does not work.Yet the video shows corner aligning perfectly after a simple 45 degree cut in mitre box?
It sounds like you are trying to cut the coving 'flat' in the mitre box which isn't correct. Have a look at the instructions here - www.decorative-coving.co.uk/installation-guides/ -
Just stumbled across this video and I agree completely what's the point on using an angle finder if your only method of cutting is a mitre box. If a mitre saw was in the mix the angle could be bisected and cut accordingly.
The cornice shown in the video is a high density hardened polyurethane which has the visual appearance of plaster, but without the weight disadvantage. It also cuts much more easily and cleanly.

This music bangs!!
is this the same method you would use for standard 127mm plasterboard coving?
Walls are not perfect, I use a angle finder and use my miter saw but you can draw lines on walls and link the 2 together
Is this product made of gypsum or is it some kind of plastic?.

Be nice if he actually tells you what to do
Watching this does not help! You need instruction.
Not really very helpful, just visual and way too fast
