8 inch skirting mitres

Can I say you buy one and use it befor saying its "Bull"

I watched a joiner using one of these to give him a perfect(not near perfect) half moon profile in the taurus skirting and it was if the joins where done by machine.

So I bought one and it pissed(shaved) through the wood like a knife through butter. You have to shave the shape on the outer face though because sometimes the wood splinters,but it doesn't matter about the back of the taurus as that goes against the wall.

The message from "The3rd Earl Of Derby" contains these words:

When they're sharp they're very good. After a while, small boys get at 'em.

For the large radius in taurus skirting I use a drill of the correct diameter - a proper wood cutting bit to avoid splintering. Then a coping saw.

Very good :-)

That'll be a whoosh, then?

So as the advert says, "a taurus tuit can do it"

Nope,the wit was crap.

You'd better make that two - I missed it also. ;-)

I'll get a whole bag of whooshes out of the freezer and defrost them ...

Don't do mitres or scribe as suggested - do decorative corner blocks - much more interesting as a detail.

That would be helpful :-)

The message from "robgraham" contains these words:

That's OK provided your architrave is thick enough. If it isn't you end up with either no blocks at the doors, or with them flush with the skirting and/or architrave, neither of which looks right.
