Angles on PVC Trunking

[RDB85]

I’m doing a large install with PVC Trunking I had a Magnusson Mitre block but it’s not that great with a large hacksaw.

Does anyone have any recommendations on what to use and a decent saw?

Manufactured bends, then you can be as hacky as you like…..

I’ve got one of those tin snip type tools with a mitre plate. Leaves a clean edge, not all burred up that needs filed smooth.

Not a fan of the bends. They are okay in some places but I want to make this as neat as possible.

If your wall is in any was shonky, even the slightest shonkiness, and mitred corners will be a pig unless you use CA glue and activator spray, which to be frank is a pain in the small donkey.

While I tend to prefer good workmanship to manufactured solutions, have to agree with this. Trunking isn't robust enough for mitred joints to remain neat over time.

I know it’s not robust enough. But I at least want it to look good. I will be filling in and around with caulk. I’m just after some tools etc to make the job that much easier.

I can’t afford a multi tool and ive a junior hacksaw already. Only really good for cutting 90 degrees.

What size trunking is this

 

[Mikegh]

What type of installation as well

Is this something surface in pvc trunking with 20mm drops or what is it ?

Anything big I ever did was steel so not that familiar

What about this sort of mitre saw? Cheap and provide accurate cutting at any angle - downside is how much space it takes up.

I’ve seen them but they look a little big and awkward.

It’s standard 25x16 Trunking for CCTV.

They really are, but provide a cheap means of cutting accurate angles.
