<< < (7/8) > >>
hulkster:
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.
hulkster:
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.

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).

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?
