You're going to laugh at this but I've had a lot of use from one of these ....
Borrowed one in the UK many years back when I wanted to mitre some skirting to go round a blanket box I was building. A mate loaned it to me and I thought he was having a laugh. Worked brilliantly and the fine teeth gave a good edge to the cut.
Got one from Bunnings maybe 15 or so years back and use it for beading to hold glass, skirting even square cuts when I can't be bothered to get the mitre saw out, I'm sure it only cost abut $15 at the time.
I have a Ryobi mitre saw and a Ryobi compound sliding mitre saw and can't kill them but to be fair I now belong to a woodwork club and have access to a range of much bigger machines.
If you're doing a lot of skirting & architrave by all means buy a professional sliding compound mitre saw but you might be surprised at what something like the above piece of junk can do.
