DIY Question - Cutting Skirting Boards

[suityou01]

depends on the size of skirting - if its 7" torus then these B&Q ones don't do it.

I've a compound mitre saw in the shed and I used it for living room and its fantastic

Fair point. MacAllister has a 210mm cut. The OP did state a hatred for hand mitres though.

My compound is electric and fantastic - used for decking etc...

The ideal way is a coping saw and forget the mitre and profile cut

What's that? So no 45 degree-ish angles to cut?

Not really. Can't get away from that really. Have you thought about wall to wall carpet?

Coping saw would not be ideal for a novice.

I use my McCallister Router for doing slots.

HAB is banned from making a smutty remark in a perfectly innocent DIY thread.

Fine. But does it help you with bleeding your radiators?

Its even harder to do and the method pros use. You cut the profile shape into the end of one the jointed pieces. Then as they fit together it leaves no gaps.

There is one example picture here.

I would stick to mitre joints and a powered mitre saw is 100 times easir than doing by hand mitre.

I never understood that euphemism, or found the root of it. I was lucky to be around for the chutney spoon episode so was "in on the act" so to speak.

Has bleeding your radiators got anything to do with radiators? Or is it just, well, smut?
