Cutting/mitring stainless steel trim

[Paul R Cox]

Hi there,
My customer has chosen stainless steel trim (unable to pursued them otherwise) Just wondering if there’s a method for mitring I haven’t thought of. A suitable blade for my mitre saw is about 50 quid so not an option for a small job. Have done this with a grinder before but accuracy isn’t brilliant and the heat can discolour the trim a bit. So, maybe just a hacksaw with a mitre block? Any other suggestions?
Cheers.

Stainless steel trim is pretty tough. I would start of with a hacksaw and mitre box to mark the 45⁰ angle then carefully use a angle grinder with a 1mm metal blade (can get specific ones for stainless steel, not expensive). Just take your time and don't allow the metal to blue with the heat. Remove burs and tidy with a metal file. 👍

Many thanks. Will take a look at the blades 👍
