I have the same issues with 45° cuts, but one thing I can do is add the little degree symbol to my text
(hint use alt code: ALT248 = ° )
But seriously, the Dosch Universal/Lion Universal #4/ Pootatuck, etc. trimmers can do the job. But, first they are not designed to cut through the molding or framing stock. You must first cut a miter with another device, then use the "trimmer" to shave off a very thin slice to make it perfect. The trimmer fences must be properly aligned and locked, the blades razor sharp, and the stock must be held still.
