How to do a Masons Mitre, part 1

[@garethheathcote4988]

I've cut these joints countless times but never done as you did with your Jigsaw, it's something that I will definitely be doing in the future. 👍🙂

[@stuffoflardohfortheloveof]

Really well explained and I can def see the benefit of using the jigsaw…..hadn’t thought of that. Ta very much for posting 👍

[@jamespowell767]

Great Video,Great Job,I make this joint with a track saw,and fine handsaw.I just drill for the worktop bolts. Router bits are expensive and get blunt very quickly

[@ttsstt1000]

very good tips I'm a joiner not as match exp as Dave very cool the way he showed how to sort joint well for tradesmen thank you

[@joegroves446]

stephen leaper you're a joiner and don't know this? Hahaha

[@martynwimpenny2017]

Spot on - well done guys - worth its wait in gold!

[@Acidwave88brah]

Good tips but a couple of warnings. If your jig is wooden, DO NOT cut away after the first cut with a jigsaw! This allows the jig to flex and the guide to hop out of the jig, which can screw your work top and jig up! Second one, don't do a final pass once the waste has been removed if your jig is wooden. Again it will flex the jig allowing the guide to hop out and cut the jig and worktop up! Apart from that this vid is top notch.

Top tip with the jigsaw after your first plunge. Less material for the router blade the better.

[@johnkeating1266]

really good job. I have learned a lot. Thanks for the video keep them coming.

[@TheBikerDodge]

I NEVER use a jig saw. I tried it once and ruined a brand new £200 jig. It WAS my own fault. To explain, after the waste had been removed by the jig saw, there was little support for the jig on that side. I didn't pay enough attention to this fact and the Jig flexed which allowed the router to slip. Result was a 2 inch gouge on the edge of the jig.

Always used the tape..never thought of using screws...thanks for this tip

[@jaysonowen6160]

I use a spot of mìtre mate and a squirt of activator instead of tape, less fiddly

[@xbbjdf8]

Thanks for the tips. This really helped me

[@johnclark1925]

Wow I just picked up lots of tips in 13 mins. Great video: jigsaw cut, trim edge before fitting, use the router extractor outlet as a blower… and the dog bone bolt screws! Cool! Many thanks.

[@arfonia]

Dave the dude...Job well done.

[@dyfedjones8499]

Yes dave!!! That jigsaw tip 👌 definately be dooing that

[@conyer132]

Mitre bond top section of bolt much easier than messing around with tape

[@fireblaster9961]

Honestly the best demonstration 🔥🔫

[@TheBikerDodge]

I have a question to ask. How do you tighten the joint when you're fitting a 900 something by 900 something corner cupboard with a solid top so you can't get to the bolts. I recently fitted a kitchen with a single piece 5.5m top joined to a 4.6m top both specially made at huge cost and the corner cupboard had a solid top. Making the joint before to top went on (as I've done in the past with short tops) was not possible due to the size. All I could think of was to cut a 4 inch hole with a hole saw under one side of the bolt. It did work. I was just wondering if anyone has any better ideas.

[@davyscales7732]

Looks very easy on one corner but if you had two to consider with one single cut each side is another problem

[@1wannabee1]

Does any1 know if 30mm thick worktops are ok to mitre? I ask only because of the thickness of the joining bolts undereneath? cheers

[@Z-add]

How can this process be done on Granite/marble countertop?

[@dilanselvanayagam9368]

hi you are using what brand cutting blade please and i need to cut 2 joint (4 cut) how many blade need

[@iaintrim2604]

Why would you take guide pins out, they are there not just to setup but stop jig moving while routing

[@CurvedSlightly]

You'd twat them with the router bush. They are really bushes, to setup the cut depth, not guide pins.

Made in England? It said made in the U.K.

[@edwardwilliams8924]

Excellent video, whys it called a masons mitre?

[@coconutz1642]

Hey Edward, It's called a masons mitre because that style joint is traditionally used in stonework and or masonry work. Because it cerastes less waste than a normal 45 degree mitre, leaving triangular off cuts.

[@coconutz1642]

[@petesoebekti2022]

is it easy to make masons miter ? :)

[@samoanSAIYAN]

With the appropriate tools, yeah.

[@3foria420]

[@dansondevelopmentsltd6754]

Your ears will be ringing for a week with no defenders on

[@mfcman2k7]

any idea what hes used for a marker to mark white on the worktop

[@wudangslostplace5380]

Tipex pen

[@teslaandhumanity7383]

Marry me Dave

[@migranthawker2952]

Bloody hell - no eye protection!!!!

[@danielbrannigan6532]

You have the router round the wrong way. The flat edge on the base should face the user. That way all the knobs and adjustments are facing you. The handles point away from user for comfort grip. And most of all the bigger rounded part of the base rests on your work piece

[@mfcman2k7]

can i ask what pen he has use to mark out the worktop been looking for a marker to mark worktops out with but I cnt find any that workcheers

[@coconutz1642]

tipex pen from most stationary stores :)

[@garywartnaby5645]
