Re: Cutting PVC trunking cleanly...

["Tim" <tim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What about a small table saw and a mitre gauge?

I have one of these going begging if you are interested.  You'd need to be
able to get hands on it - currently in Daventry.

http://www.screwfix.com/prods/79244/Power-Tools/Benchtop-Woodworking/Titan-SF88N5-200mm-Table-Saw

its not identical to that one, but very similar.

Cheers

Tim.
