As I have knocked through from the living room to the dining room in my
Victorian terrace I have to replace a fair amount of skirting board.

Mitre the external corners, but cope the internal ones -- especially on
older and wobblier houses.

Personally I always saw my outside mitres by hand, using a fine-ish
handsaw and a board mitre box. There's rarely more than a couple to a
room and it's quicker than setting up one of those nasty noisy things.

Yep deffo scribe the internal angles, as even with a new build It'll
rareley be square !! and with an old house not a hope !! our 300yr old
cottage we had before this was a nightmare a la DIY
