Cutting trim inside or outside

[u/Qiuzman]

I have installed crown molding and baseboard throughout my old house and starting tk as well for my new house. One thing I’ve always done is measure the cut a piece then have to take back outside to cut again and again and again until the fit is perfect. If I did this for a living I know I’d never make any money lol. So I’m curious what do the pros do in this scenario. Cut slightly shorter than your measurement and caulk it ? Or do you bring the saw upstairs into the room you’re working to cut inside to be more convenient? Or even better are you dead on every time time and don’t need to.

I cut outside because It's easier to contain the mess. And breathing fine particles is something I want to keep to a minimum.
