I now use either a power mitre saw or the mitre box & hand saw combination. Is there any special power tool to cut these angles?
Yeah. It's called a power mitre saw. Compound angle.
Faster tool? It would appear you seem to have left out some details, because I don't understand your question as asked. I would think a power mitre saw would be about as fast as you could get, and still make accurate cuts. Of course, I would say a hatchet would be faster - albeit, not quite as accurate.
Are you cutting different angles, and having to change the settings on your mitre saw? The time it takes slowing you down? Or what? Inquiring minds want to know.
If it's the time changing angles, one solution would be two, or more, power mitre saws, each set at a different angle.
But, now I'm curious. If you are installing quarter round in customer homes, it would seem you do it for a living, or at least remuneration. How long have you been doing it?
JOAT Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind dont matter, and those who matter dont mind.
