Hello to All ,
Just wondering how many of you have or do use coped joints in any of your work ?
If so which way do you do it ?
These need to be fitted and attached in the shop then sent to the painter , I’m trying to avoid touch up and it is a small piece of trim on top of each base board .
I’m doing a job that has 2 cabinets butting up on each side of a wider and deeper cabinet .
I cut the trim on a 45° then gently cut to the profile , but then the top held it from matching up .
On my sample I sliced a flat and that cured the problem , kind of hard to explain but it really basic if you know how .
I suppose if we can still use pictures I’ll try and send them.
show us how you cope thanks and best regards dusty

how to cope

Something missing....
Where is the Vermouth? Not sure about the quality of the cope joint, but the coping will go okay with this method.

Is the top edge of the joint going to show? If not, just butt the not-to-be-cut piece against the one you're coping, trace the profile, and then cut with a coping saw at an angle. If the top edge will show, the procedure is about the same, but you need to project the straight line of the non-cut piece to follow that angle. On cabinets, that should be square, but on walls, it may not be.
dusty,
yes, cut the to-be-coped @ 45, top to bottom and saw to fit with a coping saw. (guess that's why they call it that). it has been a while since i trimmed out a kitchen install...knock on wood....
