NICE! I've been re-doing the floor in my son's room now that he's moved out (vinyl tile's) and I'm nearly done but just ran into another spot where I panic. The last cut I did that was scary, I made a paper template because it was 'several' small different angle's at his closet frame opening. Took tiny snip's with my scissor's till it was exactly what I needed it to be (yippee!) but for some reason, I'm now having difficulty 'thinking it through' for this opposite side of the closet even though I know I have to do the same method? Maybe I just need to 'step away' from this project for a break and 'refresh' my brain?! :) I'm so close though! After this cut piece, I only have 2 more with regular, straight cut's! AHHHH!!!! I WILL CONQUER THIS!

Perhaps he’s never heard of a simple and practical tool called a bevel gauge, that cost about $10 to $12 that will copy angles, which you can then scribe on your work piece.

Aline Parrone Halpin He was just showing what you can do when you have to do multiple cuts throughout the house - you can use the same pre-cut piece instead of having to measure each time. I would probably just stack a few pages, crease them and use one as needed

A couple of things. You need to take more can than he did to make sure the run of paper matches the board and not off at an angle. The other is that if you cut with that saw the good surface should be down or you will chip off the laminate covering.

1st of all no you dont need to cut it face down. It doesnt chipout with a decent blade. And even if it does it not so much that the 1/4round and door casing will cover all ends. Not being rude just do this EVERY DAY. My only cocern is that there is no underlayment on the material and i didnt see any on the floor. Good luck with that
