Any general recommendations on tools for cutting skirting boards? Skirting

can be taller than most things we might want to mitre. For skirting the

three options I can think of, along with their problems, are



* Buy a mitre box. Unfortunately the mitre boxes I have seen do not seem

tall enough, being only about 90mm high so too short even for 120mm

skirting.



* Buy a manual mitre saw. An OK piece of meccano but specialised and bulky.



* Buy an electric mitre saw. Might come in handy for other work and I may

well need to buy one of these at some point but they do tend to be big and

heavy. Space is the main problem.



The alternative is to make my own mitre box and cut the skirting using it.



Thoughts?

jigsaw set at 45* degrees + belt sander ?
* or whatever is actually required?
