The media could not be loaded.
This is a handy and good item in theory if you chose to use it for the right project. I was way too confident in my skills and this item and attempted to use it to cut down a frame to the size I needed. It did not go well and I still have blisters on my hands! I guess there is a reason that frames cost so much! This is ok for very small projects otherwise do yourself a favor and use an appropriate table saw to miter corners for larger projects and put out the cash to buy the frame in the size you need, don’t be cheap like I was!

Perfect for the job it was purchased for. Very easy to use and the saw is sharp.
Renee Ponce –
Sturdy and saw works well. I like that you can hold the board you’re cutting in place too! I think for big jobs or a lot of cutting you would want to use a mitre saw but worth it for small jobs for sure.

Very easy to use and solve my miter problems

It’s cheap and good. I make custom frames for stained glass using this mitre saw.

There is extra space between the grooves that will give some cut inaccuracy and the blade it comes with very cheap but the aid it gives to a straight cut is sufficient enough for a simple cut, good enough for some house work but would not recommend for professional jobs.

The design is good, allowing a variety of angles…there is a unique set of pegs that secure the board in place while cutting…the saw blade was fine enough for a clean cut. When done, you can secure the saw miter box assembly with ease. Economical for simple jobs…

The hardest thing about using this item was unpacking it. (use pliers to pull out the mounting pin, do not pry it out by lifting the saw blade.. *duh*)
I read a couple reviews and saw the negative comments so I will also touch on those.
1 this is a mitre saw, not a hand saw, hence the weighted bar on the back. Let the saw do all the work. All you have to do is move it ——> <—– do NOT angle the saw blade keep it level. If you are seeing plastic powder, you are not keeping the blade level, be more careful.
2 This saw does exactly what it is supposed to do. Clean finish cuts at specific angles. If the cut isn’t clean it is your fault, adjust your method. Be more precise when flipping your work to make sure you are on the same cut. —– —– not —– _____ (have to use imagination, the lines represent your cut)
3 IT IS MASTERCRAFT… LIFETIME warranty!!!
The first review I read that the saw was bowing… the reviewer was trying to use it as a hand saw, not letting the miter saw do the work. Think of driving your car with the emergency break on… you gonna snap a cable, right? Saw teeth are the brake, saw blade is the cable.
4 you CAN screw this down to a work bench, but if you are doing everything right, you can just clamp in your wood and hold the miter box with your free hand… You do not need a lot of force to cut, let the weight on the blade to the work.
I can imagine a lot of carpenters reading this and saying “Well DUH!!!” but this isn’t so much for them, they have the power miter saws costing $300 and up. This is for Joe average who might know how to saw but has not used a miter saw.
5 cut accuracy totally depends on your accuracy. Measure twice, cut once. You shouldn’t need more than a light sanding on the ends to finish the cut with a nice clean flat surface. I am using this to turn a busted box spring into a spice rack. Waste not want not.

I’m using this to cut 45 degree corners for some picture frames I’m making. This miter box and saw combination is perfectly functional and will get the job done. However!…
When used on the 45 degree slots, the 12″ saw has only about 2-3″ of “throw” left with which to do the cutting. Being this short, one must be careful that the saw does not exit the slot on the far side. This issue may well be my fault since the miter box is wide enough to fit a 2×4 in (the wide way!) but my moulding is only about an inch wide… live and learn.
The saw is also not particularly “agressive”. While seemingly pretty sharp with lots of good sized teeth, the saw does *not* cut very well. I am cutting some very soft, thin, pine moulding and it’s unbelievable to me how long it takes to cut through, even when taking the short stroke (mentioned earlier) into consideration. The idea of actually cutting a 2×4 with this short, “weak” saw is absolutely ludicrous… it would literally take all day!
The plastic miter box is pretty much what I was expecting it to be… good enough for what I’m using it for but it’s certainly not a metal box by any means and I’ve already cut into the material appreciably by making just 2 frames (8 corners = 16 cuts).
I guess my biggest disappointment is the saw’s short length (compared to the 45 degree slots) and weak cutting efficiency. But again, for the price, it gets the job done for my undemanding needs. So 4 stars.
