    How to cut trim
    How you cut trim for interior improvement. Also, how do you cut angles to joint interior floor trim or door trim?

    Um... honestly... if you are doing this sort of thing those are only the most basic of things you will need to know not to make a huge and expensive mess of things.

    Go to the library and check out a book on finish Carpentry, or buy one at Home Depot or Lowe's or some book store. There are too many other details that are critical to making it look right that its too much to cover in a thread.

    U will need a miter box or electric miter saw.

    Smoothy is right. Pick up a book that will give u the right way to make cuts.

    Man no disrespect, if you can't ask the question better you should hire a trim man . Or watch a you tube video . Trim is not easy to install for a non-carpenter. But most trim is cut 22.5 deg or 45 deg. Good luck

    If you plan to do a lot of floor and window trim, buy a miter saw (chop saw).
    I know carpenters did beautiful work 100 years ago with just a hand saw and a miter box, but it must have been very time consuming.
