  • I would make a coped cut.

  • Hi can you clarify what back cutting accomplishes. Txs

  • @cashew2323 You cut a little more off the back side of the cut so that there is no material towards the back side that would prevent the front side of the cut from making a perfectly tight joint.

  • would this be useful when joining 2 pieces of chair rail? my wall is longer then the 8 ft. piece of chair rail. we cut it at a 45degree angle but it won't go together with out a gap.
