How to Cut Wood Molding at Odd Angles for a Perfect Fit!

Whether it be quarter round or baseboards, fitting a 90 deg. corner for wood molding is usually pretty strait forward, but what about a 135 deg. inside corner, or maybe 147 deg. outside corner?
In this video we show you how to use a woodworking protractor and a digital angle finder to measure for a perfect fit. We also discuss the logic and simple math involved in this process, since not all angle finding tools may do the math for you.

That outside angle corner is exactly what I have to tackle. Thanks for the walkthrough!

YEAH! Used the 2 blocks trick and the transition strips came out perfect! Thank you!

I LOVE YOU! 3:30 SHOWS THE CALCULATION NEEDED! ALL YOU NEED IS A DIGITAL ANGLE FINDER. FIND THE ANGLE, SUBTRACT FROM 180 DIVID THE ANSWER BY 2 AND CUT TWICE AT THAT ANGEL IN BOTH DIRECTIONS ON THE MITRE SAW! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Thank you! I have been stressing about this one angle i have to cut quarter round for. It's two sloped walls that come together in my hallway. You have eased my mind. I will be trying this tomorrow.

Thank you so much!! We are stuck at the odd angles and I’m so glad to find out this helpful video!

Oh my gosh, thank you on how to do it with and without the protractor! 💜 I'm on our wooden boat today, trying to put my trim up. (I put all the headliner in, but some of the trim is missing.)

Thank you that first angle you showed was killing me love the hack

I'm putting some molding around a triangle which has one 90 degree angle and two 45 degree angles. I thought for sure that if I cut the two pieces at 22.5 degrees that I'd get my 45 nope.... I got a way wider angle than a 90 degree. With your formula it looks like I have to cut two pieces at 67.5 degrees, but my miter saw doesn't cut that sharp an angle. Help !

I have a quarter round molding Down the side of a stair case the angle from that to the level top piece baffles me and i have limited material to keep trying. LoL
