Review: Works great for acrylic tubes - 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.
Review: PAY ATTENTION WHEN ORDERING!!! - 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!
