How to Cut Your Wainscoting
- 1). Place a tape measure against the wall where you are installing the wainscoting and measure the width or the height of the area.
- 2). Lay the wainscoting with the finished side down on a flat work surface. Transfer the measurements onto the piece of wainscoting using a pencil and the tape measure.
- 3). Slide the wainscoting over the edge of the work surface until the pencil line hangs off. Clamp the wainscoting to the surface using table clamps.
- 4). Put on safety glasses and a dust mask. Press the trigger on a circular saw and cut along the pencil line until you reach the end of it.
- 5). Release the trigger on the circular saw and wait until the blade stops spinning. Set the saw down and remove your safety glasses and dust mask. Unclamp the wainscoting and install it on the wall.
