Hi,

I need to fit a skirting board which is 7" high.
I am not sure how to cut a 45 degree angle so that the corners look nice.
Can anyone think of an easy way of making the cuts?

It is more usual to scribe the joints rather than mitre. one side is then a
square cut, amd most of the other is too (depends on how fancy the board is).

Mitre the outside, scribe the inside is the norm I think. End grain
doesn't look too pretty on the outside corners.
