Excel Blades 6-Inch Metal Mitre Box Set – Aluminum & Steel Precision Cutting Tool with K5 Handle & Razor Pull Saw for Wood, Plastic & Soft Metals – 45° & 90° Cutting Angles, Made in USA

I bought this to cut acrylic pipe after cracking it trying to cut it with other methods. I wasn’t sure at first but this was exactly what I needed. I bought this to cut the acrylic pipe for my ghostbusters inner cyclotron tubing on my Q pack. (The size I used was 14od and 12id.) The key is to wrap the acrylic piece in blue tape where you are going to cut it. The cuts are clean and come out pretty great. The blade is sharp and cuts nicely. I wouldn’t say that this setup is 100% perfectly straight cuts every time. Sometimes the edges aren’t perfectly straight But for the price it got the job done. I was able to sand the bottoms to get them straight enough. When you are cutting let the blade do the work. Don’t force the blade down too much. The only issue I had was i accidentally cut through the block. But that’s probably because of the way I was cutting. Overall this thing worked great.

Excellent Products, Excellent Prices and Fast Shipping.

I used this successfully for cutting screen framing. First off, I immediately screwed the box to a piece of wood to stabilize it. This is essential for all but the softest work pieces, since the box itself is very light (but still sturdy aluminum). The included saw is utterly useless. Any amount of pressure and the handle starts to bend, and would likely break like a twig in no time. I set it aside immediately and got my full sized hacksaw, which worked just fine. I guess I’ll save the saw for things it can handle cutting… like I dunno, thin cardboard or soft cheese? Minus 1 star for the useless little saw. Happy with the box tho, very rigid and compact, combined with some clamps it worked great for screen frames.

Intending to make small picture frames, this is an ideal tool combination. The Miter Box for cutting accurate corners and the deep-blade Excel saw. I've used Excel saws for at least 20 years and have come to depend on them for their ability to cut clean in a variety of materials, although I draw the line before metals (use hacksaw instead) these saws are great for wood, plastic, and even lighter materials like foam because there's no jagged edge. Even the old blades will continue to work, just taking a little longer, and the occasional bent blade can be straightened to keep working. The problem is with their small size and their ability to hide, so it's a good thing to have them all in one toolbox.

The handle at the joining of the blade is flimsy and needs strengthening. Its aluminum material is easily bent. I am wondering if it will provide long term use.

I did not pay close enough attention when I ordered this—this is a TINY mitre box for use with an exacto knife, for crafts. This is NOT for use with a regular sized wood or hack saw. If you are purchasing it for its intended purpose (crafts), it is well made and very handy! It is 1 5/8 inches wide by 5 1/8 inch long. It has grooves for cutting 45 and 90 degree angles. It does not have a groove for cutting 22.5 degree angles. I do recommend this well-made mitre box for very tiny work in hobbies and crafts. But you could do just as well (or better) with a regular $10 plastic mitre box (which also comes with a saw) that you can purchase at your local home improvement store with the initials HD. I write honest reviews to help others make informed purchases because I read reviews myself and appreciate how helpful they can be. I hope that my review helped you!

Very nice little saw, very sharp. The handle is a standard #5 handle, so you can use it with different blades. I wish the mitre box was a little deeper.

Four Major quality and product function flaws. - Blades/supports extremely flimsy. Soft metals bend to the touch without pressure. - Handle is hollow cheap plastic that is to small for an average adult hand to use properly. - Fastening the blade to the handle will strip out the threads easily after a few uses. To secure the saw blade in place you have to almost strip it out to keep it from disengaging. - Miter box dimensions are too small (limiting), might have aluminum burs and shavings like mine did. Miter Box looked like someone had sanded the smooth flat larger finished ends because it was scratched all over in the finish. (Extremely poor workmanship). My overall review of this particular product, China garbage.. Bought this tool thinking made in the USA, could be a little better quality than our Chinese counterparts. Turns out not all US companies have quality control standards they have to meet. I found a way better quality/functioning hobby saw/miter box on Wish and for less. That alone speaks volumes. Rated and gave a review for the Wish hobby saw/miter box, 4 out of 5 stars. Normally their sellers are trying to peddle this cheaply made and overpriced garbage. Do not purchase this saw if you are an adult with average or larger hands, want to use product more than just a couple of times, want to cut anything else besides paper or balsa wood or want to obtain a decent quality hobby tool. Hope this review helps others make more informed purchasing decisions.
