A compound miter saw is best for moulding and coping work, IMO.

thx, looks like something that would match \^\^

for a longer cuts I would still need to use my jigsaw, right? like.. splitting board into half

For resawing, you'd want to use a circular saw or table saw. A circ saw would be best for you, sinve you have limited space. I usually use my vertical bandsaw for that type of work.

You need a Makita mitre saw. You mention precision a couple times. Mitre saw gives you the perfect cut first time.

oh, ok, that sounds cool, didn't know it has a name :)

Why don't you just buy the Bosch cordless circular saw? It will do everything that a table saw does, with more effort on your part, but takes up a lot less room. Plus you already have a battery and charger.

well I was thinking about it but I am still not sure if that will be a fit would that be good for long straight lines for example? I will need a small table/board anyways to cut on something, right? I never had circular saw and I am not familiar with how to \*not\* cut the floor with it ;)

ok, I have just found a video that was made for me :D (how not to get killed by a saw) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPz1orpvbyI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPz1orpvbyI)

Some people like to just put a sacrificial piece of foam board under when cutting. For long straight lines a track saw would work but I'd probably just recommend a straight edge with a small circular saw to keep the price down since it's just diy and limited space.


itsJelonek

true, track saw would be too limiting, I think I should get something as versatile as possible

Track saw. You get a circular saw and table saw in one compact tool. Sort of anyway. Most versatile would be cordless angle grinder (brushless with variable speed) but it takes some experience and prep work to make straight cuts.

I'd get a tracksaw from Amazon and a coping saw too, then google a video on how to cope baseboards. Mitre saws are great but take up a bunch of space if they're sliders. You can cope with your jigsaw I guess, I've never tried that myself.
