Robbing from the left hand to feed the right, you know?
Yes, I am referring to the Fein oscillating cutter; it makes cutting peculiar angles a breeze. It lets you get into funky corners and cut very precisely without a lot of chisel work.
I absolutely love mine and I will shoot some video next time we are using one.
I am attaching a short animation of the bastard jacks and purlins and you will be able to see a bit more clearly why a squared off nose doesn't really work in this situation.
Again, we will almost certainly be nipping the noses on the common valleys, this was more of a special application in the bastard system.
