[Alan M]

o you think i should send it back

 

[The D]

You can’t send it back you put a bolt in it didn’t you?

 

[Alan M]

i toke out the two screws and put the right size bolt in there. its easily reversed

go for the lowe cutters and a quansol mitre box and all your trims metal or plastic should be spot on,you could go for a nobex mitre saw with additional metal cutting blade,all i find great.

with the cutting tool, you can do internal and external mitre cuts.
put the trim in the other way round for internal cuts
(hard to explain)
I've had no problem with them snippers, just replace the blade every few weeks

 

[Martyn Leeds]

er,
just watched the videos & i see you've demonstrated the 2 ways to cut (internal/external corners)
It took me a very long time to master my cuts - but thats cos i was doing the wrong cut for the wrong mitre...
