cutting some baseboard today. I had to put the baseboard in a closet with a 28.8 deg. angle. It's a dumb closet!
Anyway I cut, and cut and cut - nope. What's wrong?? so I took a break, went for coffee then "aha!" I blame it on low blood sugar. hey that's my story and I'm sticking to it! LOL
So then comes the fun problem of how to cut a 75.6 degree miter on a saw that cut's max 60 degrees.
4 1/4" baseboard, the kapex won't go through it. I set the saw at 60, then used some backing and sorta held the baseboard out another 15 degrees. It cut most of the way through, then I used my hand sander to finish up the rest.
I would have cut it on the flat, with one end of the baseboard held up with something, but the front arms of the kapex kept getting in the way, so I couldn't get the steep angle that I needed.
I'll be darned if it didn't work
I glued it together and let it set before I installed it, as there's no way to get the nailer into that narrow space.
Lesson here is don't run out of coffee after lunch.
