Hello Peeps!

I have a question for all you handy folks out there... We just put in new floors in our house and both DH and I are newbies to this stuff. The flooring went by pretty easy, but we are now at the point where we are putting in trims and moldings... For a small part, we need to rip (or is it rib) cut some T-molding (so that it looks more like an L than a T- does that even make sense- )... We have a table saw and a hand-held jig saw... We tried doing it with the jig saw- but the edge was super jagged... And the molding is WAY too thin to do it on a table saw. How would you suggest we get this done? And what else, if anything, would we need to buy/rent to get this accomplished? Thanks for the help.


If work was so terrific, why do they have to pay you to do it?!

If you are unable to set the fence properly on a table-saw, then go back to the jig-saw, but use a blade that cuts on the down-stroke! If the Jig-saw is positioned on what will be a visible surface, the downstroke will make a clean cut... If you are cutting across the grain, it is best to cut first along your cut-line with a razor-knife. Even a down-stroke blade can lift up the wood-fibers when cross-cutting.

Where are you installing this T-molding? Usually, that is dropped between two flooring surfaces, to bridge a small gap. Why would you have to make an L- from a T-molding?

Try corner bead trim already an l shape and not too expensive
