About this deal

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 With the toe clamped into a vice for stability and the mitre standing upright, a cut at 45 degrees can be made, cutting down following the Tufnol surfaces. 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.

For skirting larger than 230mm (9″) or smaller than 150mm (6″) a different type of mitre box will be required such as a multipurpose mitre box. Choose a size that’s suitable for your project and will fit well in your work area. If you’re working with large pieces of wood and have plenty of space in your workshop, then a larger miter box would be suitable. On the other hand, if you’re working with smaller pieces and have limited space, then a smaller miter box is a better option. Adjustability Mini mitre boxes are typically small with fine saw guides for intricate and delicate 45 degree and 90 degree saw cuts. Mini mitre boxes often come with clamping posts to hold the workpiece safely and securely for neat and delicate precision work. 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 A tiler’s mitre box is typically made from zinc coated steel and is specially designed with a shoulder that runs along the length of one of the internal walls on the mitre box. This shoulder helps provide a firm base for metal or plastic trims used to create a neat and aesthetically pleasing edge to tiles.

Coving mitre box (non-adjustable)

There are numerous types of mitre box available, some for specialist craftsmen like guitar makers and some for DIYers who require a multi-purpose tool. Adjustable mitre boxes allow a variety of sizes of workpiece to be held securely in place as the mitre box walls can be adjusted to match the size of the workpiece . 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. 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. The coving mitre box has a curved base to support the coving to prevent it from flexing and ensures a more accurate and neat 45 degree or 90 degree cut.

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. A multi-purpose mitre box is typically made from lightweight, high impact ABS plastic which is hard-wearing and suitable for use in all conditions. A sturdy base with non-skid feet helps to keep the miter box securely in place during operation, minimizing wobbling and providing smooth cuts. Look for heavy bases that provide adequate support while cutting larger pieces of wood. Precision Coving comes in a range of sizes (both depth and height) and an adjustable coving mitre box is suitable for all coving up to 280mm (11″) across the ceiling and 223mm (8.75″) down the wall.
