what is a cut in?

Answer 1

Tough decision here; for you. Both answers 1 and 2 are correct; and no how many duplicate answers you get; they are spot on. I'd at least thank them both if I was asking.

Answer 2

There are also cut in boxes for electrical work. This is when you cut a hole in the sheetrock and run the wires beforehand to where you cut the box in the wall. People will add these in their home during a remodel or when they want to add just one or two outlets somewhere. The boxes have little tabs that flip up to hold them into the wall when you tighten the screws down.

Answer 3

Cut in and cut out are use for cut by saw as you know the saw thickness can make cat bigger than size so when you hear cut in ,it's mean cut inside of flashing line.

Answer 4

If you are referring to painting, a 'cut in' is when you use a tapered paint brush to "paint in" [or "cut in"] all of the areas that would typically be hard to reach using a standard paint roller, such as along the inside corners of walls/ceilings, and near the edges, & around cabinets & trim work (such as door jams, windows, baseboards, moulding, etc.)...good luck! -hope that helps.

Answer 5

In painting it is 'cutting in' around windows and doors. Paint a 6" strip all around everything and then when you use the roller you don't hit the ceiling or wood trim.

Answer 6

When you "cut in" painting?
That's when you go around the frame (next to the architraves, sides of walls, etc.) with paint before you get the roller out to do the larger area of the wall...
