Brilliant, well that's it then.. purchased. You reckon this blade would be decent 60t? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Makita-B-08551-190mm-x-30mm-x-60T-Circular-Saw-Blade-MAKForce-/231018899593?pt=UK_Home_Garden_PowerTools_SM&hash=item35c9cca889

Thanks again, I've just "thanked" all your posts So this saw will be fine for bigger skirting like 5/6" ? if so I'm about to purchase now

Thanks buddy, I've read it.. great thread. Which blade would you personally go for with that Mak (for mdf skirting, architrave) Thanks again

Brilliant, I think I'll go for the Mak. OCD 178 - ME 0 Sorry for all the stupid questions, if I buy this one will I need to buy any other bits for it? or is she ready to go? I've read that I might need a finer tooth blade for a nice cut on skirting?

If you look close they are simalar but there is a few different bits

He he well either one I buy is roughly the same price.. How come that makita looks different at scewfix t?

Many thanks for all the advice. The only reason I look at Makita is because I was told they were decent and I've brought a drill, sander etc all Makita (and also have OCD) and want to keep the same brand if possible.. stupid I know THAT said.. I've found that same Makita much cheaper here...

what about this one http://www.screwfix.com/p/makita-ls0714-2-190mm-sliding-compound-mitre-saw-240v/64212#

It will be for a whole house worth, and if I end up buying more houses it will be the same again. I to have a few makita tools already so it would be good to stick with that, £220 is fine aslong as it does the job but I'm not going to spend £800 on one ..looked at the evo ones they seem ok but i...

Will only be used for skirting and arch..

so that makita will do 4" skirting? (the one in the link I posted) as I only used bigger skirting in one room as the walls were a mess. All the other rooms should be fine

Thanks, budget up to £300ish, it will be for a house worth of skirting and architrave.. but may be used in the future too.. but certainlly not everyday for a job or anything. Can you recommend one ? skirting would be max 6"

I think the skirting is 6".. I don't know the different types, which would you recommend? Yes, I have a coping saw. I have done skirting but with a mitre box.. as I have so much do to I'd prefer a saw but have no idea which one

Yeah.. Any advice on which mitre saw??

Hi all, can anybody recommend a mitre saw for skirting and architrave please? I'm very new to saws so not sure exactly what would be required, this is the one that's caught my eye: http://www.screwfix.com/p/makita-ls1040-2-260mm-compound-mitre-saw-240v/22723 Any advice welcome, Thanks...

Thanks, I thought about the light but they look old and dated, I'd rather have a run of ceiling lights. Plus the doors are usually open anyway so there will be light

Hello all, very interested on hearing what you guys would do here.. I'm renovating the whole house (trying at least) I'm now onto room 2! (a Pro probably would have done the entire house in the time it took me to do the first room :mrgreen: but I'm enjoying it) OK.. I've decided to...

Hi all, many thanks for the advice The PVA is unibond and cost £20, I never go for cheap stuff. I would also say it's something I've done wrong. I'll try the 4/1 mix and leave it until dry. I'm much more confident at plastering now so I'll be able to skim it alot faster

My first wall was a terrible attempt. I'd like to skim over it using PVA. Any tips here as last time I tried this even after PVA the new skim was drying so fast... Many thanks

Thank you for all the great advice I'm certainly enjoying it, it's very challenging and satisfying. It's amazing how the pros make it look so easy.
