Step 1: Measure and Mark the Edging* Measure the length of the countertop edge that needs to be covered.

* Mark the cut line on the edging using a pencil or marking tool.

Step 2: Set Up the Miter Saw or Table Saw* Position the countertop edging on the saw table.
* Adjust the saw blade to a 45-degree angle.
* Ensure that the saw blade is sharp for a clean cut.

Step 3: Cut the First 45-Degree Angle* Hold the edging firmly against the saw fence.
* Slowly guide the edging through the saw blade, keeping the cut line aligned with the blade.
* Carefully remove the cut piece from the saw.

Step 4: Flip the Edging and Cut the Second 45-Degree Angle* Flip the edging end-to-end, keeping the marked cut line facing up.
* Position the edging on the saw table, aligning the cut edge with the saw fence.
* Cut the second 45-degree angle, again ensuring that the cut line is aligned with the blade.

Step 5: Dry Fit the Edging* Place the two cut pieces together to form a 90-degree corner.
* Dry fit the edging against the countertop edge to check the fit.
* Adjust the cut angles as needed to ensure a snug fit.

Step 6: Apply Adhesive and Secure the Edging* Apply a thin layer of adhesive to the back of the edging.
* Position the edging on the countertop edge and press firmly to secure it.
* Use clamps or weights to hold the edging in place while the adhesive dries.

Additional Tips:* Use a sharp saw blade for a clean, chip-free cut.
* Practice cutting on scrap material first to get the technique right.
* Wear safety glasses and a dust mask for your protection.
* If using a table saw, ensure that the blade guard is in place.
* Allow the adhesive to dry completely before using the countertop.
