I actually came across the wooden style box last weekend at the house I was working on in South Carolina. It had been so long since I'd seen one I almost thought it was some sort of kids project where they just nail boards together. I'm afraid the only time that may ever see a use again would be for cutting PVC pipe too large for the blade style cutter I am so fond of...

Are you talking of the sort which is a wooden sort of box with slots in it to guide your saw? They work best with a stiff backed saw. They do become increasingly inaccurate because the saw tends to erode the edges of the cuts. Put a filler board in the bottom to keep the board you are cutting lifted up in that way you won't cut to the bottom of the guide cuts. There are miter frames which hold the saw sometimes also called boxes which work better but they do take patience. Good ones though are very accurate. Sadly I am too impatient. I want more power!
