How do I install chair rail or baseboard around a bullnose (radius) corner?
This is accomplished very much like installing crown around a bullnose corner (see Chapter 6). Look at the illustration on the bottom of page 54… imagine that is chair rail or baseboards….. for a 270º outside corner (see table #1 page 55) using one small piece of trim (chair rail or baseboards) you get a corner angle of 225º. Since the trim lays flat on your wall, you will cut this using the Miter Table on pages 23 and 24. For a 225º corner, you will set you saw on 22.5º. The width of the back side of the trim can be determined from Table 2 on page 56. Return to top For and inside 93º corner, why does the Miter Table (page 23) show a miter saw setting of 43.5º instead of the “divide the corner by 2” method or 93º/2 = 46.5°. Our book explains everything that you asked (see pages 90 through 96). Here is why: The old saying “divide the corner angle by 2” only applies when using a saw with a face angle miter scale. In other words, the face angle miter scale starts at 90º and goes to ab
