I'm currently working on fixing up a 1930's home I bought a few months ago. Planning on moving in at the weekend.
The last job to do was to tidy up the internal window frames. I removed the old strips and purchased some upvc quadrant strips from wickes, these ones:

Problem is im having an absolute nightmare trying to get the angled corners correct. I've been using my mitre saw and just can't get the corners right, wife has been telling me I should just try to get as close as possible then fill the gaps with decorator caulk, however I want to get it right.

So how do I get the corners correct, I've been considering buying one of these but not sure if it will be any good:

How on earth do I get the cuts right????
