Durwood, that is one mean sheet cutter. I would imagine that the extra rpm of an angle grinder would make for a fairly smooth cut on sheet material with not much tearout.
Cheers,

With some skirting boards (old properties ) the skirting boards would have had thick timbers.
Is it feasible that you could had another layer of timber to the skirting board similar fashion to how mouldings are sometimes constructed.
That way you do not remove timbers.woody U.K.

The fein multi tool is the machine to use.
Fitted with the saw blade attachment. Very safe there is no guard but because of the oscilating cut You cant cut yourself & with the selection of blades/attachments you can get into places that you thaught were imposible.
With the right blade & a piece of paper will cut flush to the floor without marking the floor.
Not cheap though.
cheersAny thing with sharp teeth eats meat.
Most powertools have sharp teeth.
People are made of meat.
Abrasives can be just as dangerous as a blade.....and 10 times more painfull.

Many thanks.
Seriously now, thanks to all for your assistance. Some of the tools you have suggested look and sound great but I have decided to bite the bullet and remove the skirting. This way all I have to cut is the architrave so should be assured of a good and safe job.
Kind regards

Im with soundman on this one. Go for a Fien Multitool. I have one and have used it for exactly what you want to do. A good tool and safe to use.
