Joining Worktops in a 90deg Corner - Is there a simple solution?

Wickes used to sell Aluminium joining pieces and can't say that i have searched for them on Screwfix.
B&Q might sell them but you will need a bank loan!!!

The proper way is cut like this.



But you could just do a straight 45˚ like this.



Or just use a joining strip.

 

Also to use a slightly blunt saw and go steady is normally the best way to cut it so it does not rip off the melamine (or whatever you want to call it) a brand new saw can ruin a piece of worktop if your not carefull

 

Saw someone do the firs joint with a handsaw once its definitely possible to acheive but id just go for the 45 degree one if it was me and the corner was square, if not id bisect the angle and do it that way

 

In a workshop, I would just 45º it, support it, glue it and screw it(up through the support).

Mr. HandyAndy - Really

 

I you are using a jigsaw to cut the worktop you need to use blades that cut on the downward stroke otherwise its curtains for the Melamine top.
A decent Router can also do the job but just make sure everything is set up square.

Or cut the worktop upside down.

 

Turn upside as Chip suggest, jigsaws are handy but will not cut a straight line.

 

A decent handsaw will give a better cut than a jig saw. Try a circular saw with a bit of wood clamped as a guide if you do not have a router.

 

Do you know much about Brother Industrial sewing machine DB2, my mum has one with a clutch motor, and thinking of getting a servo motor fitted, as these are quieter. She got the machine from a friend.
