Laminate Beading Corners
Posted on Friday, March 13th, 2009 at 9:16 am
How do i angle cut the beading/edging that goes around a laminate floor?
You know what i mean, the wooden edging that you put around the edge of the floor to hide the small gaps and make it look neat. I haven’t attempted it before, how do i make sure i get the angles right so that the corners fit together neatly? Is there some tool i need…other than a saw and a pencil, obviously!
If you are comfortable with power tools, go to a rental yard and rent a miter saw. Much faster and easier, plus you can adjust for the fact that you probably will not find a perfect 90 degree corner anywhere in your house. Better yet is to cope the inside corners, but you’d burn up more wood than it’s worth, trying to get the hang of it. You can pick up a bevel gauge and a speed square to determine the exact angle of the corner, and set the miter saw to split the angle. (Example, if it measures 92 degrees, cut each piece at 46 degrees)
