Easy & cheap life saver from newbies of DIY home projects

Saw leaves a little bit to be desired.

I have a pair of shears that I've used to cut thinner moulding pieces, but for harder woods or thicker mouldings, I needed something stronger. I don't have an electric chop saw, but with this I really don't need it. The saw was a little difficult to get going and seems to stick in places, but I could always work it loose for smoother sawing. Either way, it enabled me to cut the mouldings exactly at the right angle and made my project look a lot more professional.

Did the job.

I purchased this to use on some thin trim that I was putting around my door. The concept of the device is really cool and it would've worked perfectly if the saw was sharp but it was extremely hard to get the wood to cut the whole way through so for that reason I had to return it.

This is a hobby product for sure. I bought this for a single project of 12 2'x4'x4" wood frames to be covered in fabric. There are two set screw holes on the base of the box. I secure the box on my wood bench and use a C clamp to secure the wood while cutting. I had no problems with the saw but with the nature of manual miter box work some people may have trouble. The plastic alignment groove does get ground out some during use, but my project came out fine. Just let the saw do the work and try not to rush. If I was building something more professional I would rent a miter saw.

The saw and miter box worked well for cutting the quarter round for my house. It handled the ~300ft of 11/16” quarter round fairly well. The saw is not the sharpest, but with rapid back and forth movement, it cuts soft pine adequately. Beware that this is probably not the saw you want to use for cutting something such as a 2x4. The box is sturdy enough. I fixed it with screws to another board and then clamped the assembly to a sawhorse to make a sturdy work station. For the price, it gets 5 stars from me for quarter round.

Not what I thought

Buen producto cumple con las descripciones del fabricante, es de buena calidad; los trabajos realizados generan un corte exacto y correcto; si es recomendable algo de experiencia en el uso de un serrucho para no estropear la herramienta, como recomendación sería bueno agregar un juego de sujetadores para maximizar la herramienta y todo su potencial

J'ai utilisé ce produit pour faire des angles parfaits. Le seul petit bémol que je peux apporter, ceci concerne, la lame elle devrait avoir une protection. Ce commentaire est plutôt constructif. merci

Cannot answer the strange questions - like 'sheerness' and there are several 'thickness' measurements.

Son de calidad y no me ha dado problemas después de varios trabajos. Es buena compra porque es 2 en 1. No me arrepiento, lo uso y me encanta.

Buen producto, el único detalle es que las ranuras están muy estrechas y eso dificultó el trabajo.
