As a fairly new framer, I have recently graduated to getting chops with thumbnails instead of chop/join. My question is, what do you usually look for when you get these to make sure that they will join together well? I've seen some posts about sanding, is this to bring any slight variations in the mitre to exactly 45 degrees?
One thing I've seen on a few I've received is that the moulding does not lay flat on my work surface, is this normal or does it point out some warping? What types of issues would cause you to send back a chop to be replaced?
I appreciate any advice you can give on this since I've got enough to worry about with my budding joining skills, let alone have problems with the cuts compounding it. Thanks in advance...
