    Changing the degree on your miter isnt going to solve the gap you had from the top to the bottom of your base. You have to adjust the bevel/compound on your saw to fix that issue.

    Always have a hammer on you for when you just can't get that miter tight no matter how you cut it cause drywallers left a chunk of mud down there. Beat the corner in to tighten up that 45 but just don't beat over your trim line.

      @@estenanm13 what you do is buy a coping saw and on one side leave it flat to the wall then. You take the other piece and 45degree it and take the hand coping saw and follow the inside where the paint is still on the trim if it’s stain grade of the 45 degree at a slight back angle. Just look up on you tube how to cope trim and they have the process on it. Coping means to follow the profile of the trim.

      I'm going to go ahead and say I disagree really.
      Generally I hear people say "Measure to 45¾° or 44¼°", and that's where you get the sloppy inside miters that are close but just not quite there. Coping is great to get that perfect result, but if you can get the same result in 3 seconds of measuring and cutting, this is superior to the other methods.

    I just cut every outside miter at 45.5 or 46. I prefer to cope inside 90s, but have plenty of tricks for metering inside corners.
    Thankfully, the custom homes we work in use tall flat base with a really tight round over so we can often but the inside 90s unless it's a job that demands inside miters on flat stock

      No need to cope 2 1/2 white baseboard. Crown always cope but that tiny trim just get it tight. Even a cope can have a gap cause drywall at bottom is pushed in. Sometimes not just the corner 45 but your vertical is not strait either them you got set baseboard flat and cut on angle too.
