How do you cut inside and outside corners in rain gutter?
i use a compound slide miter saw with a carbide tip blade IF YOU DON'T HAVE A COMPOUND MITRE SAW, OR IF YOU DON'T WANT TO TRASH YOUR BLADE BY CUTTING ALUMINUM WITH IT, YOU CAN CUT THEM BY HAND USING A HACKSAW. YOU WILL NEED TO MAKE A 45 DEGREE ANGLE MARK WITH A PENCIL. USE A SPEED SQUARE/RAFTER SQUARE IF YOU HAVE ONE. THIS CUT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE AS PRECISE AS IF YOU WERE DOING BASEBOARDS IN YOUR HOUSE, THERE'S ROOM FOR SLIGHT ERROR HERE AS THE MITRE STRAP THAT GOES AROUND THE JOINT WILL COVER MINOR FLAWS IN THE CUT. CUTTING WITH A HACKSAW WORKS FINE.
