I am trying to cut some baseboard, and I am struggling with the outside corners. I am getting a gap on the bottom. I am having this issue with multiple corners. See attached picture. Some info for you: [LIST] [*]I am using a 8" mitre chop saw. [*]My baseboard is 4" high. [*]Thus I am laying the baseboard flat on the saw and cutting my 45 degree angles by tilting the saw blade to 45. (I can't stand the board up vertically, set the bottom guide to 45 and cut downward. So vertical is set to 45, horiztonal is set to 0.) [*]My saw is not on a set of rails, thus my blade follows an arc, versus a true horizontal line. [*]My corner is not perfectly square. [*]The baseboard is thicker on the bottom than on top. 4/8" on the bottom, and 3/8" on the thickest part of the styled top. [/LIST] I wondered about the corner not being square so I tried a different angle (43 degrees approx) to test, and I get the same result. But then I thought, well, if its just a squaring issue I should not have more gap on the bottom than the top. My gap should be the same. In the picture you see a piece of canvas missing. This issue occurs with the canvas in place. I will glue a piece in before I nail down the baseboard. So, is it the arc of the saw cutting the baseboard the way I doing it, the issue? So if I bought a mitre saw on rails would this issue go away? If I had a 10" saw and thus cut the board vertically would that correct my problem? I measure the angles with my speed square and they all seem fine. Is the baseboard being thicker on the bottom a contributing factor? I've wasted a bit of baseboard, so I am trying to not have go buy a whole new length. I know I should use a new finer blade to prevent chipping and that's coming soon.

Against my better judgement, I had told a client to make sure the doors are "finished" in white.....not the vinyl covering some manufacturers use. Well notice upon a visit that some of vinyl has lifted, especially where you might grab the door at the edge. There are a good half dozen and I am thinking that this material could be re-glued with a good adhesive. Any suggestions as to the type of adhesive and how to hold the material down into the adhesive until it bonds. I am sure this is not the first you have heard of this but....this sight has so much knowledge based on experience, figured I would ask.
