hi, I have one sort of a fancy one. I got it from Lowes. Its has a miter that swivels like a power miter saw. They also have places where they lock into certain angles that are more popular. It came with a saw that sits on 4 long rods. This way the saw stays in the exact same space. The four rods will let the saw raise up to about 5 inches with out coming off them. This way you can cut 4 by 4 with ease. It will also cut up to a 6 inch wide boards. The back fence will support up to 4 inch thick boards. It can also be mounted to a saw horse so you can handle long boards and make it more stable. It also will take different blades so you can have different ones for cutting in different type of materials. from wood to metal. I think it is made by Stanley but not sure. Just thought I would share this.

Although you can get away without one, you need to use a back saw with a miter box because it is stiffer and won't flex when cutting. ----- Original Message ----- From: Shane Hecker To: [email protected] <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> Sent: Saturday, January 12, 2008 12:53 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] miter boxes What do you think of the miter boxes? Has anyone used them? Just wondering as my mother's husband got me one. Shane [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] No virus found in this incoming message.
