Stanley Mitre Box and Saw, Mitre Cuts Made Easy

Making angled cuts or mitre cuts in timber can be hard when trying to do it free hand. With this Stanley Mitre Box and Saw, it’s really simple to get the exact cut you need at that perfect angle.

I've successfully used this for small cuts without securing it down, but I honestly can't believe it didnt occur to me to either secure it with screws or clamps. That tip alone made watching this video worth it, even if I feel a little dumb now. 🤣

Just purchased one for my wife…sending this video to her NOW!

Sweet video, I never actually knew how to use this tool, but now I do 😁

Glad I checked out this first! I think the extra cost was worth it!

Use one for decades. This one is light years ahead of some. No work bench? Get a scrap piece of wood to mount it on, then clamp it on a couple of saw horses. When unclamped, hang it in your shop. One thing is the saw is much steadier if you use 2 hands on it.

Holding it is not sufficient. Just cut a few pieces of 1 inch lumber and the lumber moves enough to produce an unlevel edge when you're done. Very frustrating.

I have this same box... the saw binds in the wood like crazy. I'm searching now for how to keep a saw from binding, which is how I found this video. So far, this box is very frustrating.

The only thing with the boxes is you can cut in to the plastic easley I have had three and all muck up

Save your money - pay someone with correct tools.
Very first cut I made veered off into plastic, scrapping a $15 trim board. Now 1/2 hr trip to store to return plus new board.

It's not that easy to use this tool.. When saw teeth tangle with wood, the box get wobbly.. And fragile... So I have to abandon the saw came with this box.. . I am hoping the box I brought will brake soon... This is a honest review no lies.

What is the widest piece of wood that can be put in the box?

[alexmendez]

Oh the squeaking noise the thing does when trying to cut wood. The saw hitting the plastic with the sides of the blade. I think I am returning this. It’s just unbearable the noise it makes

This thing is one of the worst, most cheaply made pieces of garbage I have ever used.

You need to clamp it and or anchor it with screws. You need a work bench. Really a useless tool unless you have a workbench and clamps. Also the pegs it comes with to keep wood in place are not that great at keeping it in place

[claylevine]

Here to confirm this thing is a wobbly, screechy, unstable mess that makes cutting with precision harder. More plastic for the ocean I guess. 😒 Avoid this at all costs. Buy or make a wooden one.
