Stanley STA120600 Clamping Mitre Box and Saw 1 20 600

Product Information

To keep the mitre box stable and secure during use, there is a toe (where one end of both the top and bottom board extends beyond the rest of the mitre box) at each end. This enables the toe to be clamped in a vice, keeping the mitre box secure during use. 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. 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. 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. The skirting board is placed between the base board and top board and clamped down using the thumb screws.

Coving mitre - These boxes can be adjustable to accommodate different sized coving, or non-adjustable for standard-sized coving. It features a curved base to support more delicate coving types to ensure a precise cut 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° slots Guitar fret mitre boxes are designed specifically for cutting the grooves for frets on a guitar. The saw is placed between rollers to allow for a very smooth and accurate 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.

Buying Guide: Miter Boxes

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

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. 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 Multi-purpose mitre boxes are ideal for cutting a range of workpieces such as skirting boards, coving, dado rails, plastic piping and many more.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
