I install a large amount of quarter round in customers' homes and

there any special power tool to cut these angles?

Whoa there, Zippy! How is it possible that you need something
"faster" than a power miter saw? Heck, even a dull handsaw only takes
a few seconds to cut quarter round- I think I even used a utility knife
once in a pinch, with fairly quick results.

maybe his quarter round is 6" radius... didja think of that? huh,
didja?

No, I guess I didn't. Hmmm... does your quarter round have a 6"
radius? Perhaps a chainsaw is the way to go... Seriously, though-
why the need for such speed? I always found the measuring and nailing
to take a heck of a lot longer than the cutting! Those trimmers the
other posters mentioned look like they're more for making a clean
finished edge or correcting a bad angle (both of which are real
useful, but I don't know that adding a step saves any time) than for
chomping through a million linear feet of 1/4 round in 5.5 seconds
flat.
