I'm going to be using the Schluter®-JOLLY for the first time in a tile application. What tool should I use to cut a 45 degree angle for the corners?

I use my power miter saw for 45's on all Schluter edging. Straight cuts are done with a hack saw. I suppose you could use a hacksaw to make the 45's if you were to use a mitre box.:)

I tried my miter saw but had some difficulty with some of the cuts. Either the steel would warp, the blade would jamb, or a combination of the two.

How do you position the "L" in the guide on the saw?

What blade are you using for your saw?

You are trying to cut metal with a wood blade? I can see the problem now....

Seemed thin enough that I could get away with it. :)
