My house insurance appears to be tied to the Zillow estimate :eyecrazy:

Are the Zillow 'estimates' very accurate at all? When I looked up the house you sold with the $125k shop, it looks like it is surrounded by house in that price range if not more. There is a similar sized house one street over for $892 I always thought a shop was like a pool also - you need to...

Even a Festool Track saw is prone to 'tipping' when cutting at 45 degrees. There are some work arounds - see the attached youtube video. But if absolute accuracy is a must, I think rough cutting fairly close with a track saw to remove the bulk of the material and then a final cut with a router...
