This product worked well for the first few cuts but then the saw began cutting into the sides of the guide slots as it is made from relatively soft plastic. Now it is impossible to make a straight cuts as the guide slots have been widened and angled by the saw biting into them. I have much experience with hobby crafting so this is not a result of misuse. I have since ordered a aluminum miter box. The one positive aspect of this product is the added angle (30 degrees?) in addition to the standard 90 and 45 degree guides but this is not enough to redeem this product. If you plan on using it for more than a few cuts invest in a metal miter box.

This was the lest expensive Miter Box listed, I like it excellent for the price. I use mine to make inlays, that involves glue-lots of glue. So no matter what I buy I will have to replace and that will be with anouther one of these. If you hold it up and look @ it from 90° angle it's shaped like capital J(with the "T" top). So one lip hangs over the sideas good as clamps. I place on top of 2x4 with the back facing me since it's packaged with a pull saw( cut on pull only). The plastic can be a drawback if you go @ it like a crazed beaver chewing up the angeled slots. The angels are accurate 30°,45°,60°.67.5°, and the completing angle 22.5°. The 1/8" thick plastic slots are cut at the proper angle, so if your chew plastic you may be using too much force or thick saw. I like the three peg Cam clamps thay fit into the box. The columns have a peg whole every1/2" and each column is offset 1/4". So you have good Controle over the wood slippage. Hope all the detaisl help but if treat it like its supposed to be treated like a hobbie miter is a good tool

Very nice little gadget. I often need to cut doweling for different projects and this keeps it stable. I can also cut trim to make unique frames. It has the nice feature of being able to be braced against the table edge to keep it steady with the lower lip, no tools needed, quick to set up, quick to use.

Honest reviews on Midwest Products Hobby & Craft Easy Miter Box Deluxe

When sawing at non-extreme angles, the box works well. When you start getting too far off center, however, the saw gets wedged against the plastic from the force of the sawing and gets stuck. The included saw is actually quite nice, however, and with most light woods such as Balsa you can use the box to make a slight line on top of the wood and then you can just continue the cut by hand without the box. This has worked for me on the extreme angle cutting. This package is not expensive so I am basically happy with the purchase but not thrilled.

It's plastic and the saw cuts through the plastic. Buy one that's aluminum! I wasted my time and money. Don't buy this product.
