How to cope baseboard corner

The usual way to get tight within corners or trim is to "cope" them - cut a profile on the single part that will fit over the adjoining part. That means lots of fussy, slow work with a coping saw. Next time you have some within sides to cope on standard 1x4 baseboards, try this technique for doing the full procedure on your miter saw. It works for Princeton and ranch styles, it takes a bit of time to master the method, but once you perform, you will be capable to get the best cope in less than sixty seconds and never take for the coping saw again.

If you have a small fence on your miter saw, include a 1x4 to completely support the baseboard. Your saw has to be managed so it cuts rightly square in the vertical place. There will be wood sharpened and your saw will be working for long periods, so wear hearing and vision protection.

Install base in a clockwise way around a room if you are counterclockwise and right-handed if you are a lefty. That will be playing to your powerful hand, and you will forever be coping the same way joint after joint.

Rest your elbow on the table. Do not try to get the best cope with the saw alone, you will be capable to fast clean it up with a file. And finally, do not take your finger off the activate until you are clear of the cut. The blade will plunge the instant and shut down the power and you would wreck the cope.
