ah yes, i see now. thanks for the great descriptions! ;D what im wanting to do is take a few boards of 3/4" thick mdf, and miter cut the ends of them so they can connect to make a box without showing the ends of the boards. know what im saying? gives it a more professional look. |
| Rawker:
just use a butt joint, you shouldn't need to use a mitre (canadian way of spelling it) anywhere on a cabinet unless the angle is less then 90 degrees. the thing about a mitre is that you'll need backup to screw to so using just a normal butt joint makes things easier and you can also hide your joint as opposed to bringing it to the forefront with a mitre. |

okay, well heres what my cp base will look like, and im going to put the side boards around it...so as you can see, i need two boards for the angles on the left and right. http://www.arcadecontrols.com/files/Uploads/DSC00223.JPG heres the pic |
| Rawker:
yup you do, you'll need mitre's then. but if those are the only ones i'd just take the pieces to a home depot or where you bought the wood from and get then to cut it as opposed to purchasing a $50 or $100 saw for 4 cuts. but if you do purchase a saw, go with the skill saw (circular saw). |
| hulkster:
home depot will make those cuts for me?!?! i mean, i want them cut at a certain angle and stuff...but they will do that for me? |
