Stanley Hand Tools 20-800 Clamping Miter Box With Saw

PRO: 1. Works perfect. 2. Blade is just the right tooth per inch that I need. 3. Portable, and the wood guide plugs things are a nice touch, they work, for how long, who knows. CON: 1. Lightweight, unless you mount this to a bench, it's gonna move around on ya. 2. The saw comes off them guide rods easy, wish there was a stopper to keep that from happening. 3. Not sure where to get a replacement blade some day, but will look when that day comes. OTHER: 1. If you can mount it, or clamp in place, do that. 2. This is great for small projects, etc. no need for an expensive electric laser guided saw then you're a weekend DIY'er guy. 3. Stanley brand is always good.

Great quality saw.

I needed a miter saw of this type with good vertical clearance (could not use a back saw) and no electrical power. This saw did the job. It is not as rigid as a power miter saw, so don't use a lot of force or it won't be accurate. Also there is no easy adjustment for the accuracy at 90 degrees which I would have liked to see.

This is a well made tool. I purchased two for my middle school classroom and they are holding up to regular use. It is much easier for my students to use than the plastic miter box. After seeing it at my school, my dad mentioned he would like one. Now the third purchase is for his Christmas gift!

You get what you pay for. The idea is excellent but not executed well. For $35(+/-) it’s adequate. One can only cut the angles indented in the platter. Custom angles are not possible. Cut accuracy is very dependent on the users finesse with a saw. Good luck. Good for the hobbyist. Pro’s don’t even think about it.
