Abstract: A mitre cutting guide tool (1) comprises a first body section (2a) having a substantially planar outer face with an outer edge configured to rest against the face of a skirting board or coving to guide a cutting tool in use; a second body section (2b) rotationally connected to the first body section (2a) via a connecting means (5); a sensing means (9) configured to measure the angle between the first and second body sections (2a, 2b); a locking means (5) configured to connect the first and second body sections (2a, 2b) so that the angle can be altered and to lock the first and second body sections (2a, 2b) in position to set a given angle; the second body section (2b) supporting the first body section (2a) at the set angle against the length of skirting board or coving; the connecting means and/or locking means (5) configured so that the space between the first and second body sections (2a, 2b) is substantially unobstructed.
