I need to mitre a pile of skirting board of depth 120mm. I've tried using a saw and mitre block but the corners simply don't match properly. What model of power saw would be best, without remortgaging the house? To confirm, the skirting is 120mm in depth. Thanks CW
You can get similar designs cheaper, but this will do you proud and some : For me it's perfect for working in people's houses....accurate, no noise & minimal mess... http://www.axminster.co.uk/product.asp?pf_id=22818&name=nobexchampion&usersearch=1&sfile=1&jump=0 Am gonna treat myself to a DW712 & leg stand for Chrimbo though
Thanks for that. Ideally, I'm after a power operated saw......what sort of blade diameter would I need to get to mitre 45deg angles through 120mm of depth? CW
I got the cheapo sliding compound mitre PerformancePro from B&Q for £100. It works fine for me and I skirted my whole house with it.
Ebay is a good bet too, look here http://business.search.ebay.co.uk/mitre-saw_SawsW0QQfsooZ1QQfsopZ1QQsacatZ20783
Thanks guys.....I opted for a 10" jobbie from ScrewFix - hopefully that'll be problem sorted. REALLY appreciate the advice, mega helpful......what a resource for DIY 'nobbers' like myself! CW
remember internal corners are scribed and external corners are mitred,so you,ll need a coping saw as well as a mitre saw.

there's nothing wrong with mitreing internal corners when an internal corner is badly out of square even a scribe cut will need an angle on it.!
I always mitre my mdf internal corners, they join just fine, if not I sand down a little bit. Fill if needed paint sorted.
