Multi-purpose mitre boxes are ideal for cutting a range of workpieces such as skirting boards, coving, dado rails, plastic piping and many more. Multipurpose mitre boxes can be used on a range of workpieces, including skirting boards, dado rails, coving and general carpentry work where a precise and accurate mitre joint is required. Features such as etched measurements or magnified windows can help promote accuracy and ensure precise cuts. Etched measurements indicate where the saw blade should be positioned while magnified windows allow visibility when making delicate adjustments or fine cuts. Support Features The skirting board is placed between the base board and top board and clamped down using the thumb screws. The guitar fret mitre box can be screwed to a workbench using the mounting holes provided to ensure a firm and stable base.

Mini mitre box - Sometimes called a 'model makers' mitre box', these boxes are designed specifically for small, delicate cuts, such as those found on models. Coving comes in a range of sizes and designs. A typical adjustable mitre box will accommodate a range of coving up to 200mm (8”) deep and 180mm (7”) high. Most multi-purpose mitre boxes come with two workpiece clamping posts and guide slots that allow for 22.5 degree, 45 degree and 90 degree cutting angles.Magic mitre - This mitre box features a sliding jig which allows the user to accurately set the angle required for a wide range of tasks The ability to adjust the miter box for multiple angles and cuts can make projects much easier and more efficient. Look for models that allow for adjustments so you can get precise results without having to constantly reposition the box every time you need to change the angle or depth of your cut. Number of Compartments The skirting board mitre box is specifically designed to accommodate a set size of skirting board. There are two sizes available: a 150mm (6″) and a 230mm (9″) version. They are not suitable for cutting mitres on other types of workpiece. The magic mitre box is used for cutting mitres in architraves, skirting and dado rails to the exact angle of the corner of a wall. A template is used to transfer internal or external angles to a sliding jig. Connecting the template to the mitre sets the angle in equal proportions either side of the saw. There are metal base stops fitted into the base of the mitre box that can be adjusted so that the box can accommodate a variety of sizes of coving.

Multi-purpose mitre - Designed for general-purpose woodworking, these mitre boxes tend to include a 22.5° slot as well as the usual 45° and 90° slotsThere are numerous types of mitre box available, some for specialist craftsmen like guitar makers and some for DIYers who require a multi-purpose tool. The magic mitre box has a cutting range of 1 to 210 degrees, a maximum cutting width of 92mm (3 5/8″) and a cutting height of 100mm (4″). The tile trim is placed up against the shoulder to help support the delicate tile trim, enabling a more accurate and precise cut without damaging the trim. Hardwood fences or clamps offer strength and stability when working with long pieces of wood that may be prone to shifting during operation. Additional features, like aluminum extrusions, offer reinforcement against any unexpected movement that may occur during cutting. Cost There are two Tufnol (a hard wearing smooth type of plastic) strips along the base and top board edges set at 45 degrees. These strips are to help guide the saw ensuring a precise 45 degree cut.
