Paneling and Trim - Cutting cove molding 90 degree?

How do you cut cove molding 3/4 inch to fit 90 inside and outside corners?

thanks
:o

Are you putting 2 pieces together at an inside/outside corner, or trying to figure out how to intersect 3 pieces together?

yes, both inside and out, have 4 corners 3 inside 90 deg the other 90 deg out, pieces connecting.

have a radial arm saw, ui think it has angles for both settings

So to answer the question it sounds like you are simply asking how to join 2 pieces together at an inside or outside corner.

The easiest way to explain it (easier to do it than to explain it) would be to put the piece of 3/4" cove against the fence, as if the fence were your vertical wall. One flat side of the 3/4" cove will face back against the fence, the other flat side will be facing up. Imagine that the top side facing up is the ceiling.

For an outside corner, you'd swing the radial saw arm to the right (45 degree angle)... hold your piece on the left side of the saw, and cut the 45 that would go on the left side of the outside corner. Then you'd swing the radial saw arm to the left (45 degree angle)... hold your piece on the right side of the saw, and cut the 45 that would go on the right side of the outside corner.

For an inside corner, you'd hold the trim the same way against the fence... one flat side facing back against the fence, one flat side facing up. Swing the radial saw arm to the left (45 degree angle)... hold your piece on the left side of the saw, and cut the 45 that would go on the left side of the inside corner. Then you'd swing the radial saw arm to the right (45 degree angle)... hold your piece on the right side of the saw, and cut the 45 that would go on the right side of the inside corner.

Hey thanks XSleeper,

I think i can do that, we have some to waste, try it next day or 2,.

It's to late now unless i take them up, but we put down some base,
and a number of years ago i saw a guy coping saw, the back side, to fit in corners, like i am doing the cove. This base kind of has some different lines if you will different shape, would you cut that the same way in the corners as the cove? Right now i don't have any extra to change it

I should say the coping saw allowed just one piece to be cut and was butted up to the other.

tks

:)

i guess there was a miss communo here, this worked for a vertiacal, and lineal, but not for going around corners, we are working on it.

Miscommunication is right.

In the previous post, i asked: "Are you putting 2 pieces together at an inside/outside corner, or trying to figure out how to intersect 3 pieces together?"

This is not a yes or no question. But you replied, "yes, both inside and out, have 4 corners 3 inside 90 deg the other 90 deg out, pieces connecting."

This does not make any sense to me and doesn't explain what you are doing very well. So maybe if that was a little more clear I could try again.

In your latest reply, I have no idea what you mean by "vertical" and "lineal", so why don't you be a little more descriptive about what you are doing. And print out the directions and try to follow them. It's important to hold the pieces on the correct side of the saw as you cut them.

You could also take pictures, post them to a site like photobucket, and then copy and paste the link to the pictures here.

they are running horizontal, corner, cove meets on outside//// corner cove meets on inside// 90 degree, i've got one more way to try it, see if that goes

We got it done , you were right, i had another guy helping and time was short at the moment, the cuts came out as you said.
Thanks
:thumbup:

later i am going to do a diagram and show you another, see if you can tell us on this one, be a day or so
