How would you waterproof that mitre corner? Plenty of silicone?
What type of miter saw blade should be used?
I’m wondering the same thing, just bought a miter saw, I’ll lyk what I decide to do if I come back to this 😅
The flat profile is so-so. The V one is worse. And then you still need to cut the curved plastic cover so it matches nicely. I can't do it. There's always a gap somewhere. I resorted to filling them with silicone and pretending I don't see it.
Any videos on how to measure these cuts/ markings to make the joined 90 degree angle?
Tape measure
I just tried to make a similar cut, but (a) I had the saw *tilted* at 45 degrees, not rotated 45 degrees as in this video, and (b) I used my hand, not a mechanical clamp, to hold the work piece down, and (c) I used an 80 TPI blade, but I'm not sure what this guy used in the video. Anyway, my approach failed: the work piece bucked, and about 4 inches of that end became unusably bent. I'm curious which parts of my approach caused the problem.
You need a saw blade with a lot of small teeth. Rather fewer big ones.
Great - Just bloody Great
Now I need a workshop
Holly Cow I need all these expensive tools
All this to hang up some led lights.
My project just got so expensive, dammit
A cheap hacksaw would easily do the trick, I hope this was sarcasm
Soooooo How Do I Do This At Home Without The Tool...
I'm in the same boat! I've been told a mitre box and a fine-tooth hand saw can achieve the same effect. Both would probably cost less than $50.
I think you can buy corner end pieces that fit inside the channel
Use a hacksaw, people are so incompetent
What blade did you use
Non-Ferrous Carbide blade
Nice work
