putting trim?

[MrMatte]

Hello!
I have a small question... I'm trying to put moulding on my sloped ceiling, 27-degree angle that goes up into a regular flat angle while maintaining a 90-degree angle. My problem is what angles I should set on the miter saw. I've tried 45 on the base and 13.5 on the blade, but I can't get it right.
I've been at it for a while and now I'm considering corner blocks?? But I don't want to give up just yet.
Thanks in advance.

Also having trouble installing the moldings for my slanted ceiling. Therefore, I'm seriously considering corner blocks. Does anyone know where to get these and an approximate price?

Can't you use a protractor and a handsaw or jigsaw?

Place the strip in the saw as it will sit on the wall and miter half the angle.

Maybe you can find something here: http://hvilaro.blogspot.com/2008/07/gering-taklist.html

There is a variant of the bevel gauge that automatically provides half the angle: http://virutex.com/anglecopiertc133r.aspx. Super easy to use.

(I bought one for a couple of hundred kronor at Theofils, but they are probably sold in more places).

Hultafors has a red variant. http://www.lundqvist.se/visa_produkt.asp?nr=44739

Place the moulding in the saw as it will sit on the wall and miter half the angle.

your method does not work on all mouldings.
it entirely depends on which moulding the thread creator will put up!

Hultafors has a red variant. [link]

Yep, same thing, and it's easier to find than the Virutex. The reason I chose the latter is primarily that the "half-angle gauge" is adjustable and longer than on the Hultafors, which makes it a bit easier to get the correct angle on the saw. How much practical significance that has, I don't know, since I haven't tested the Hultafors variant. They usually make decent stuff...

Hultaforsen is completely fine, made of some impact-resistant plastic with a miter angle in metal.

Managed to get hold of an angle gauge at Jula (small red plastic thing) that shows the correct angle. After that, I got better results. But some angles just didn't align because the angle caused the moldings that were supposed to meet to have different slopes. As a result, shadows appeared over and under the molding. To minimize this, I sawed square blocks in wood and made a simple pattern, sanded and painted them. They turned out almost as good as the ones you buy at Bauhaus for 250 kr a pair. The problem is that it's insanely difficult to make blocks for outer corners if you don't have a bandsaw or similar equipment.
