Nice demo! "It's all in the prep work!" Exactly right.

Good video! I had 4 of mine cut at home depot but 2 of them are too wide for their machine. The guy there told me to cut each individual slat with an exacto knife 🤔 I don't think so 😅. He also suggested I take some off either side but since I'm only taking them down 3/4" I think I'll just lop off the one side.
Thanks for this. 😎👍

For those wondering, this can also be done with a chop saw on the flimsier, older venetian style blinds as well as these faux wood ones. As Dan has mentioned, it's all in the prep. Binding the ends tightly with masking tape once they're as flush as you're able will improve your chances of success!

Note: The blade I used was the 12 inch, 80 tooth.

Haven't got one of them saws in my garage so guess I'm spending more money to get a saw or hire a saw so maybe just pay for made to measure

Great idea, never really considered this - cheers

Excellent video.
One question: would a finer blade make any difference to the finished cut? Or would it dull too much against the aluminium and PVC?

Do you need a special blade for the mitre or just the stock one the machine comes with

Hi Dan, just to make sure I do this right. My blind is 231mm just that tiny bit too big because of the top window frame. do I cut it to 230mm or 229mm for that tiny bit of wiggle room inside the bracket as don't want to move the bracket forward plaster boards not that great? And Do I still cut both sides of blinds or just one? Please help. Thanks

What do I need to buy to cut them and the steel part? A handy man was supposed to do mine but he keeps letting me down

Dan,
Where do you get the cutter at? Please let me know so I can purchase! Thank you!

It's a nice idea but you just ruined your saw that is made for wood, it will leave you some chips in future projects. :/
