Scott, I'd deliberately cut it it a bit long and then make a few trips to the miter saw to trim it to ssize. This works better if you are using a power miter saw as I am. Blessings, Tom

Now for some reason I just can't seem to get this baseboard cut properly. I have lets say a measurement of 6 3/4 and I place the baseboard on the miter saw and I have tried both measuring with the blade at a 0 angle and then also at the proper 45 degree angle. In both cases it seems that it's just not coming out right, it comes out to short. So, can someone offer some tips on mitering trim so when I cut the pieces, I get the 6 3/4 I need and the ends will stick out enough to mate up with the other 45-degree angles to cover the corner? If this didn't make sense, please let me know. I'd like to get this right and not waste a lot of material. tnx Scott Howell [EMAIL PROTECTED] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
