Cut off saw for trim
has anyone used a small 6in cut off saw to cut their small trim pieces and quarter round?

I've seen some 6" miter saws but never used one. They aren't useful for much other than small trim. As noted above it would be next to impossible to get a good miter cut with a skill saw.

Build a jig to guide the skilsaw. Have seen this done many times when cutting vinyl siding. A smaller version will work fine with reasonably close tolerances.
An easier option is rent a mitre saw.

The other issue is that my nail gun is not always driving the 1.5" finishing nails flush into the baseboard. I have metal studs and am checking to make sure I avoid them with a stud finder. Using the NuMax[color=#222222] SFN64 nailer around 90 PSI (max suggested in manual) and I have played with the wheel adjustment on the tool. Some go flush or just below the surface while others protrude out. I have an image for that but having an issue attaching it for some reason.
Appreciate any suggestions. [/color]
