Perth - anyone have a mitre trimmer I could use for ten minutes?
Hi guys,
I am making a one off picture frame and can’t seem to get the accuracy I am looking for with the mitres.
would anyone be willing to let me come around and trim them up?

If you plan on making frames in the future you can also make yourself a shooting board, I used to true up my picture frame mitres this way until I came across a trimmer at the right price

I’m happy with the length and angles, my makita saw seems to put a very slight S bend in the cut for some reason. Only really noticeable on a large flat join of two boards. The length of the cut is about 100mm and it looks just noticeable once the error is doubled.
it is quite a wide board to shoot but I may have to give it a go.
I almost bought a trimmer six months ago too.The world is a comedy to those that think, a tragedy to those that feel.

An "S" bend in the cut? That's interesting. Someone will tell me I'm wrong but it sounds like the blade is vibrating and has reached it's resonant frequency where it really "gets a wobble up", just enough to make an out if true cut. Or there is play in the arbour bearings, which isn't all that unusual these days. Sounds like the hand plane and shooting board is in order. It'll come in handy in the future anyway, at least that's what I told myself a year ago. Any excuse to buy a new tool.

No new tools required. Just had to make a quick left handed shooting board. All done.
