Good to use cutting wood projectsLike the twist locks - makes box much easier to useSo, a lot of tool makers have let their quality slide as they move their manufacturing into the realm of, well, coerced labor in less, um, how do you say, free places. Well, Stanley doesn't do that. All of their stuff is designed and manufactured better than ever from what I've seen. I've gradually switched out a lot of my tools to Stanley over the past couple of years, and this miter set is one part of that. I used it to precision cut hard plastic wire protectors for a bit project. I also used one of their hacksaws as well as the miter say supplies. Everything worked as planned, and looks great. No complaints. Also, this thing being so portable helped a lot. I could just work in the area instead of running back and forth to the garage. Not bad. 10/10 Would run cable again...but hopefully won't have to!!!The plastic material was slightly warped from the packaging. Once it was mounted to a board and set in the sun to warm up, unit straightened out. If accuracy is vital, this product may not be for you.Saw is decent. The housing itself is a little more flimsy than I’d like it. But it works. The pegs that hold the wood is a nice addition.What I hate is the fact that the saw has a spine on it that stops the saw from cutting deep enough to cut all the way through the woodNeeded it to cut small pieces of wood. Works well for that purpose. Sorry it is plastic.It gaped when I sawed with it. Should have bought the wood one.I used this to cut small pieces of UHMW that needed to be cut with precision. I used C-clamps to hold the work in place. The cam pegs that come with it were not very helpful and wouldn't stay vertical. it was hard to clamp very tight before the plastic mitre box would flex and so my cuts were not quite square or plumb. Disappointing. This unit would be fine in a pinch for arts and crafts around the house but don't expect professional quality.Recientemente me he puesto friso en alguna habitación y necesitaba cortar los rodapiés y juntas a inglete. Tengo una sierra caladora que también corta a inglete, pero probé con algún rodapié y la verdad es que no me quedaba muy bien a parte de ser bastante engorroso, por lo que me decidí a comprar uno manual.Stanley por norma general es una muy buena marca, con materiales robustos y duraderos y por eso me decante por esta.Viene incluida la sierra de cortar, el soporte donde pondremos los rodapiés o cualquier cosa que le queramos cortar a inglete y unos topes para sujertarla la pieza contra el soporte.Esta hecha para cortar a 45º, 22,5º y a 0º.La sierra es una sierra normalita, pero que corta rodapiés sin mayor problema. En mi caso he cortado varios rodapiés de distintos materiales y no se atasca, realizando un corte bastante limpio (Probado en rodapiés de madera maciza de 1 cm de espesor).Admite rodapiés anchos, ya que la base del soporte es amplia.El único inconveniente que le veo es que el soporte, por debajo, no lleve algunos tacos de goma o unas ventosas que haga que se quede fijado al suelo de donde lo vayamos a cortar, ya que con el meneo de la sierra hace que el soporte se mueva y te sea un pelin incomodo el corte.PROS:+ Calidad de materiales.+ Precio.CONTRAS:- Sujeción del soporte.-- ARTICULO RECOMENDABLE —Si te ha gustado mi explicación no dudes en votar. Si tienes alguna duda, pregunta. No te quedes con ella.This is NOT a bad mitre box but if you are considering this because of the "built in" clamping system, read this and think before you decide.Why was I not fully happy?The holding pegs only work if you are cutting something in the middle or with a reasonable amount of material left on either side of the cut. In this scenario, you can use the begs to hold on both sides of the cut.However I wanted a straight end cut and the pegs were worse than useless in this context because you CANNOT insert 2 pegs on the same side of the cut at the same depth :( This means the you have to either hold by hand or use some other clamp.The reason behind this issue is that the peg holes are drilled diagonally to the mitre and not parallel. The result? there are no 2 holes at the same depth on any one side of the cut. Since the pegs themselves are oval shaped rather than round to allow them to be tightened to the piece, diagonal drilling seems somewhat superfluous.Additionally, Itthe mitre box is actually quite large and cumbersome and takes up more space in my workshop than it's worth given what it does(n't) do.In my opinion it promises more than it actually delivers but thankfully is not very expensive and is certainly more than usable as a simple mitre box.None the less, if I had known beforehand what I know now, I would have bought a simpler and cheaper mitre box (or a more expensive one that truly delivers clamping flexibilityI bought this to cut angled oak beading to repair my wooden windows. So far it has made over 100 45 degree cuts of hardwood using the provided saw. I see quite a few negative reviews but I am quite pleased with the product. People need to remember it's a basic mitre block, not a mitre chop saw. You get what you pay for.I found that if you properly attach it to a workbench, use the provided clamping posts carefully and cut slowly it works well. If you angle the saw slightly up into the cut then you avoid cutting any of the plastic box on the non-cutting side. I like the included simple clamps - but you need to push down on them as you turn/tighten them to avoid them rising up. I slightly drilled out the mounting holes and used M6 screws with washers to attach it - no problems and snug in the holes.When you see the Stanley name you could, like me, find yourself expecting quality. Well don't be fooled, this is the cheapest, flimsiest thing I've seen and I wouldn't be surprised to find it im a pound shop.Mitre box is poor quality, flexes all over the place if you even slightly clamp the work piece in place, weighs nothing and has large slots for sloppy guides. I found I could cut straighter by eye than with the box.To make things worse this saw either blunted within a few cuts or is already blunt. I have a saw aproaching 20 years old that's better than this.They say a bad workman blamea hus tools, but trust me, even the best workman would struggle to get mediocre results with this.Avoid it and look for a better brand.Stanley built but probably more related to a Laurel(Stanley) and Hardy construction firm.Flimsy plastic frame that wobbles and I was unable to match a right angle cut with another similar mitre guide so found gaps in joints due to this. The other problem I had was with the saw. For some reason the cutting action was 'abrasive' and not Smooth and so I abandoned the saw and used one of my own but this mitre guide is too tall unless you use the supplied saw and my saw did not reach to the mitre base leaving a line not cutting through the timber fully.The result was that I returned this item.
