The
purpose of coping trim moldings allows for a tighter fit
into corners that would otherwise be out of
square. It has really become a lost art with fewer
handling it in this manner.
Coping
Procedures
First step
is cutting an inside 45 degree cut on the miter saw.
Basically slide the miter to the left and lock into the
45 position. Once the miter is made a coping saw is used
to trim out the meaty end of the cut. Do so while
maintaining an angled cut greater than 45 degrees with a
coping saw into the material while staying on the actual
mitered cut line.
Once
completed one piece of trim with a straight end cut is
butted into the corner of the baseboard and the new
coped joint will overlap. Once the desired fit is made
nail into baseboard. |
