Device for cutting molding and method therefor

摘要

A device for cutting a segment of molding for angular mating with a second segment of molding. The device comprises a table portion for holding a segment of molding, and a cutter guide portion for guiding a cutting mechanism. The cutter guide portion is mounted on the table portion and comprises a template oriented angularly with respect to the table portion. The template can receive a cutting mechanism extending through an opening in the template such that the cutting mechanism extends angularly with respect to a segment of molding held on the table portion. The opening is shaped such that a segment of molding held on the table portion may be cut by tracing the opening with the cutting mechanism, thereby providing the segment of molding with a recessed angle at one end and an edge at that end corresponding to the contour of a second segment of molding to which said first segment is to be mated. Related methods are also disclosed.
