FIRSTINFO H5442 Metal Small Aluminum Miter Box 5.5 Inch Small Tiny Mitre Box for Manual Saw for Hand Saw 3 Cutting Angles - desertcart.com

Review: Great miter box for picture frame stock - This aluminum miter box is great for rough 45 and 90 degree cuts. No matter what miter box you have there will always be inaccuracies when cut. This is more so from saw movement than improper angle placement. These inaccuracies are easily cleaned up with a shooting board or simply ignored if + or - .5 degrees is acceptable for your project. My project is picture frames. So, four miter joints can add up to a lot of error and gaps are much more noticeable in picture frames compared to say, baseboard molding in a bedroom. The miter box I received has two 45 degree cutting slots. One is quite accurate and I can rely on to produce a proper 45 degree angle + or - .5 degrees or so. Two or 3 passes on my shooting board plane and I am good to go. The other 45 degree slot is much less accurate. Im guessing it may even be off a degree or two. Again though, I can use it I just need to spend more time finishing it on my shooting board. The 90 degree slot works very accurately and is also easily cleaned up on a shooting board. The miter box opening to put material in to cut is just under 3 inches wide (~1/32nd inch shy on mine) and 2 1/4 inches tall. It is around 9 3/4 inches long. The width of the cutting slots is pretty small, but it does fit a standard miter box saw. It also fits most any razor saw. This miter box has a clamp part that can be screwed down into the work being cut. The clamp end that will touch the work is around 1/2"x5/8". It is kind of small so I usually put a small piece of 1/4" softwood between the clamp and the work to prevent damaging the work. Another thing absolutely essential to using this miter box effectively is to put scrap wood on the bottom of the box. This prevents you from hitting the aluminum when you saw through the work. I have attached a picture showing my setup. I have also attached a picture that shows the capabilities of the accurate 45 degree slot I have. Pros: *One of the 45 degree slots and the 90 degree slots works well *Small cutting slots that provide an accurate cut *Built in clamp that is very useful Cons: *One of the 45 degree cutting slots is very inaccurate(-1/2 star) Additional Considerations: This box does NOT come with a saw. You will need to get one. I recommend a  Overall: 4.5/5 stars (>=.5 rounds up,  5 stars If you have any further questions regarding the product in my review please leave a comment below and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
Review: Been looking for a good M-Box for years! - This thing works great for small work like baseboards and trim. Get one of the long Japanese saws that are thin. Just squeeze the top sides in a bit to get the clamp to move. Put the box on its end to load the clamp bracket so you can see how the groves mesh. I use a thin piece of wood under the trim and a piece of heavy foam board above it so the clamp does not leave a mark in the trim piece. Level the trim and square it to the box. Clamp the three pieces down and slowly cut joints that match so good they don't need caulk. Mount it in a way that the trim pieces will be level to the box for their complete length and will not put any undue torque on the box or clamps. This saw from here works great. (Shark Saw 10-2210 Miter Box Saw) Careful, very sharp and a slight touch will be painful!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ OK. Works well>
*by T***E on August 20, 2019*

Made of aluminum works well for balsa and other very soft woods . Wears quickly due to teeth of saws. no way to prevent this. Heavy use a life of about 6 months, moderate use about 1 year, (BALSA ONLY) My overall opinion is this is a good product as designed. It fills a need. it is inexpensive and accurate.I will buy this again.
