Cutting angles in skirting boards

Akshay · 29 Jun 2006

Hi everyone, just joined up today and thought I'd get off to my first post!

Can someone tell me what I need to get in order to cut angles in skirting boards? I already have a mitre box for the 45' internals and externals but I have some awkward angles around my bay window and I wasn't sure how best to tackle these.

I'm using standard 4 inch skirting.

To get the angle see piccy below (similar idea) then use a sliding bevel as a gauge for the angle to be cut with a mitre-blocks

Thanks for that picture, but my mitre box only cuts at 45' angles, so would I need to buy one of those adjustable mitre saws with table? I'm trying to get away with buying anything else though.

You can pick one these between £10-£15 if you shop around
