I'm toying with the idea of buying a large hand mitre saw primarily for cutting skirting when i need to get really accurate cuts on site (private homes) without the hassel of carrying a heavy bulky electric sliding mitre saw thats noisy,creates loads of dust, and only cuts angles to 47 degrees. It would have to deal with up to 12" skirting and cope with compound mitres. Is this just a pipe dream?
Sfunny bin doing it today. Yes pipe dream. Professionals do it by hand esp if any complexity involved but not with a mitre saw. Mitre blocks perhaps made on site to match but often not essential, 2 sliding bevels, combination square, compasses. protractors. coping saw, panel saw, tenon saw, block plane, a gouge or 2, sharp chisels, hand axe for scribing, 2h pencils, 2b pencil for scribing, etc and so on. Most useful trick is undercutting.
