Re: Cutting PVC trunking cleanly...



I have seen some pretty good demonstrations of Evolution circular and
mitre saws.
http://www.evolutionpowertools.co.uk/uk/index.html

I don't own one of these but it has been on my wish list for a while. It
claims to cut all kinds of material with the same blade - wood,
aluminium, steel (up to 6mm) and plastic.

They even do a stone cutting blade for them.
