Cutting architrave lengthways

[Fordy81]

What's the best method/tool for cutting architrave lengthways?

I have several lengths to cut that will be butted up against walls and want the best way of getting a straight edge.

Thanks

Circular saw table with a decent fence.

Thought you might say that. lol

Are there any decent ones knocking about cheaply that you can recommend?

Good results with even a cheap saw.

Just as quick to use a handsaw or if the wall's really uneven use an axe to scribe it.

As per L L except without the axe throw away/fleamed teeth handsaws and a sawhorse are the trades way of doing it.
By the way why do you have to saw so many down their length, are they all to fitted against perpendicular walls or what? ...pinenot

Hardpoint saw.

Workbench.

Sharp plane to finish.

Wish I was as quick as a table saw, will rip the timber in less than 10 seconds.

Ah yes the cut itself is quicker with a table saw but if you add in the time humping it off the van , setting it up , running leads then there probably isn't much in it plus it's easier to cut an out of straight cut by hand if necessary.

Pinenot , do I take it you don't have an axe in your kit? I feel almost naked without mine

Oh no, an axe was always part of my kit, for dooks and such like...pinenot

Ah good , no need for me to feel sorry for you then

blimey how big are the archs you trying to trim if it needs an 'axe'?

or do you a hachet?

i dont have 1 in my kit,seems like its to precise for my work

Doesn't matter about the size, I've used mine on foot square oak down to pencil sharpening.
Definately an axe , single handed axe. I did have to check the precise meaning of a hatchet just to check I hadn't been calling my axe by the wrong name for all those years. Seems my lathing axe is more of a hatchet but I only tend to use it for rough work
