Abstract:
A method of cutting a piece of baseboard molding, the method comprising:(A) forming a reversible plate of a material in a mold containing two short back-to back segments of baseboard molding, and removing the two short segments of baseboard molding when the material has set up, thereby defining a patterned cutting edge and a spare cutting edge, wherein the patterned cutting edge and spare cutting edge are defined to correspond to a front face of the baseboard molding to be cut, and wherein the plate provides an alignment structure to align the patterned cutting edge with the baseboard molding to be cut;(B) attaching the plate to a plate support comprising an elongated body and a head, whereby the reversible plate is carried within a recessed area defined in the head, and whereby the plate support engages the alignment structure of the plate, thereby holding the reversible plate in alignment with the plate support, whereby a cutting hole defined in the plate support is adjacent to the patterned cutting edge of the reversible plate;(C) securing the reversible plate support between the jaws of a clamping apparatus;(D) securing the piece of baseboard molding between the jaws of the clamping apparatus; and(E) cutting along the patterned cutting edge of the reversible plate, thereby cutting the piece of baseboard molding.
