Fitting 9" skirting

[willimoj]

Morning all,

I hope someone will be able to help me. I searched the forum but could not see information about this.

I have to fit some 9" skirting in my home. A few external corners and a few internal ones. All corners except one are i believe straight forward. One however is a rounded corner meaning I'm guessing I need to cut angles of 135 degrees see Pic located here as I had problems uploading picture. http://jai.smugmug.com/Other/Upload-images-for-DIY/22753292_xGfG4W#!i=1824972394&k=hLt95dK

The issue I am having is trying to find a saw that will accommodate the cuts i need to do.

I am getting a little confused about Mite Saws and if they will accommodate these cuts. Can anyone advise if either of these saws will be able to cut the required cuts

Or would a circular saw be a better option.

any advice welcomed.

thanks for taking the time to read my post.

imo a skil saw will not work,
so a chopsaw it is then.
if you cannot judge the angle required,then perhaps do a few small bits(say 22.5 degrees)glue the pieces in and once dry LOTS OF SANDING REQUIRED.

Thanks gregers,

I am having trouble getting my head around if this will cut the 9" skirting at an angle?..

Can anyone let me know if it will?.

You will need a compound sliding mitre saw to achieve a large cut.
Something like this [I bought one locally £180]

I have the Hitachi, but not happy with it despite being returned to manufacturer still does not cut at 90 degree's.
It cut about 300mm on the slide.

I've used the Evo on a job we did last year. Pile of cr*p
