Would this tool be good for outside miter corners on baseboard?

Yes. Depends on how you turn it. I am an appraiser and use it for odd angles on the exterior of homes. Also very handy to calculate inside corners. Measure , miter, and cope your corners and you piece should fit together perfectly.Bob

More than likely. I've been in the trade for over 30 years and this is BY FAR the best time saver, like in your case, not having to remove the whole baseboard. I have mine for over a year and is not a Mickey Mouse tool, even though is (carefully) made in China. It is sturdy for professional usage.

I got it to cut outlet boxes in the wall and it didn't work because it cant make a 90 degree corner. Should work fine on coregated

As far as I am aware, there is no angle/corner, be it inside or outside that this tool will not read. Pay attention to the exact reading/degrees, set your miter saw accordingly, make your cuts and get perfect joints first time, always. This is a really useful tool.

No, this is a marginal tool at best. Look for a core bit that is made to drill stone at a stone tool supply house

The Bosch is a great tool but I only use it for door jams when installing a floor (hardwood) and such small jobs. I wouldn't recommend using it for a large project such as the one you referred to.

Not to my knowledge. I do not think the saw maxi was designed for fine cut you would need for flush corners. A miter saw or a miter box with a good saw should do it. Stanley and Buck would be a good choice

This machine is for surface planing,(smoothing) the flat face of the timber. It won't eliminate any dimensional problems, such as twist,or bow. It is NOT designed to surface edges, foe that you will also need a jointer

I think it will work just fine, I haven't used the tool on diagonally laid boards but the way the tool is designed it should work just fine, I'm using this tool on a project right now and it's a real time saver, don't forget to buy the optional attachment for double joists if you have any on your project

Mine cuts square (miters not so great) but not very clean. You would probably need to invest in a better blade unless you are willing to do a bit of planning and/or sanding.

A Radom orbital sander would be a better choice of tools for sanding wood. Preferably with dust collection attached to the sander. Exposed nail heads or screws could prove to be a problem with the sanding discs though.

Definitely not with a hand saw as it is not really a guide for a blade. I guess if it would fit in a miter box it would work but that is jot what it is designed to do and you probably would just be wasting time and energy. This jig simply holds the molding at the correct angle but can not be used as an actual saw blade guide.

Yes I have used it for various base board moulding and crown moulding miter assembly and it has performed well in these applications.

I'm not sure if this is the right tool or not... It cuts on the pull stroke, so you might have trouble getting a good cut at the lowest portion of the baseboard (ie the saw cuts best when you start with the teeth closest to the handle against the workpiece, and then pull across it, toward the tip). A push-style saw or even a pull-style one with slightly curved teeth at the tip like shark corps's dozuki might work better. Or a sharp chisel, which might let you work from whatever angle you need the most. I don't know, though... I've never cut an installed baseboard... I would echo Daniel Jones's response, though: it might be easier to remove the baseboard and then cut it to length. I'm not sure if this is the right tool or not...

This has the same action as a random orbit sander. It just uses a square pad instead of a round pad which allows you to work the inside edges and corners easier

Yes. I made a base for my miter saw out of 3/4 inch plywood and put a 2x4 in the center of the base. I then put the base in the workmate and tighten it up and was really to tackle any type of cutting that needed to be done. I hope that this will be helpful for you.

Don't try it with this piece of crap. You should set the bevel on your circular saw or table saw to 45 degrees, and then run the blade across the wide side of the board. Do not try to set the miter and the bevel of a table saw at the same time, or else one side of your board will push more material through and your blade will bind up.
