Cutting outside corners

What happens here

With the miter cut angle calculated, mark the baseboard trim for the cut. Set the miter saw to the calculated angle (e.g., 45.5 degrees). It's crucial to hold the baseboard firmly and tightly against the saw's fence. Carefully align the saw blade with the short point of your mark on the baseboard and make the cut. Repeat this process for the second piece of trim, but remember to adjust the miter saw to the opposite direction (e.g., -45.5 degrees) to create the complementary angle for the outside corner.

Goal: Precisely cut the baseboard trim to the calculated miter angles

  • Miter Saw RIDGID — Cutting the baseboard at precise miter angles
  • Pencil — Marking the cut line on the baseboard

going to do 180 - 89 = 91. 91 / 2 = 45 1/2. This 45 1/2 is going to be our miter cut. Mark your baseboard. Keep the back tight against your fence. Line the cut up with your short point. Now, these pieces are cut for the corner that's actually here. And look at that joint. Don't assume every corner is a perfect 90. Find your angle, subtract from 180, and divide by two. And make
