Tool for 45 and 90 Degree Cuts on PVC Trunking

[SparkySy]

@timhoward
I have these evolution saws and can't fault either of them apart from 0degrees not quite being 0 on the large one, but no issue to square it up before use!

@Mike Johnson I have used one of those for wood bothering in the past and they are excellent, it wouldn't probably work well for trunking as the depth of cut is only about 10mm from memory.

After marking mini trunking... I use my small 12v Bosch micro angle grinder... works well if your gentle with it....cut and grind/file down...quick too.

I've got some 16 x16mm trunking to cut next week, quite a few angles that are not 45°. Think I'll experiment this weekend, with my multitool

It's New Years Eve, everyone is waiting for the main event at 2400hrs, meanwhile board to tears.

I'll be in bed long before "The Bells", but I too am bored.

Nooooooo just been asked to help my OH with a jigsaw, never seen anything like it, no picture, it's supposed to be what the people on the box lid are looking at?????

Just an observation.

Hmm your on here to, just obfuscation.

Rather than tick anything off that long 'to do' list left by the other half, I'm spinning my wheels until a few 'new switch won't turn the lights off' threads come along to be read.

Thanks for all the help everyone. I’ve gone with a cheap mitre block for now. I’ve also ordered a Bacho 6” Combination Square. I will be looking at a Mitre Saw in the New Year. I will put up another thread.

Not sure there's any mileage in asking electricians about mitre saws - most won't have experience of different brands, from which to draw comparisons.

Probably better asking joiners as they use mitre saws to earn a living.

You wont get better advice than on here: Buying Advice | Tool Reviews - https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums/buying-advice-tool-reviews.2/ but it will vary and go eventually to Festool as all tool reviews eventually do, myself I have four mitre saws three sliding and one fixed, I would never use any of them to cut plastic trunking far too brutal.
