Trim Cutter search

When they bring a set out that can do compound mitres as well then great....otherwise a useless tool...IMO...

10 times easyer and less bulky then a hack saw and have a range of angles not just 90 and 45

In that case, looks as though I need to give it a go!

There are always other ways of doing that.

Not with those trim cutters there isn't...an easy way....what would you suggest other than a junior hacksaw and mitre box...?..

That's what I mean - that you'd use a hacksaw for those cuts

 

[DHTiling]

nice one...lol..........honestly mankey.....they are fine but i have used a hacksaw and box for years...and a file to dress up any untidy mitres...

Was looking to get one of them trim cutters myself , but reading the advice on here I think I will stick to the mitre block , hacksaw , & file,

Cheers lads

i did not say that thay where good for every job but the bloke asked about trim cutters just showed him a better set

 

[doug boardley]

I appreciate that Davy but all I'm saying is that imo they're not worth the dosh and they don't do the job as well as mitre box way

Bought 1 myself last year, used it once. been in the garage ever since.

Always keep plenty of spare junior blades though, once i've cut a threshold, they go in the bin, and as Dave says, let the tool do the work..........

Mmm. Bear that in mind! What's wrong with it? Is it the same as the others say, that it won't make all the cuts?

 

[davy583]

yes mate the cutters wont do compound cuts

When you say compound, you mean it won't cut in to a 'V' do you?

 

[davy583]

yes mate thats right but makes a nice cut without having to mess about with files and cleaning up what the hacksaw leaves behind.

After reading the mixed opinions here it looks like it's horses-for-courses eh? It depends not on the cuts you want to make but on whether the tool suits you.

Thanks again for all your help fellas!
