Picture framing what tools are required

The first item to consider is how to mitre the moulding, using a guillotine or mitre saw can achieve this.The famous Danish 'Morso' mitre guillotine

The 'Morso' is ideal for mitring wood, plastic or MDF and is available in metric or imperial calibration, with optional extras of left hand support arm, spare blades and a second production stop.

The cutting head is moved in and out using a lever. This allows you to 'eat' your way through mouldings in steps. Making multiple cuts, with your very last cut taking off a thin shaving, ensures perfect joins.
