Additional features, like aluminum extrusions, offer reinforcement against any unexpected movement that may occur during cutting. Cost A sturdy base with non-skid feet helps to keep the miter box securely in place during operation, minimizing wobbling and providing smooth cuts. Look for heavy bases that provide adequate support while cutting larger pieces of wood. Precision

Choose a size that’s suitable for your project and will fit well in your work area. If you’re working with large pieces of wood and have plenty of space in your workshop, then a larger miter box would be suitable. On the other hand, if you’re working with smaller pieces and have limited space, then a smaller miter box is a better option. Adjustability

Coving comes in a range of sizes and designs. A typical adjustable mitre box will accommodate a range of coving up to 200mm (8”) deep and 180mm (7”) high. Most multi-purpose mitre boxes come with two workpiece clamping posts and guide slots that allow for 22.5 degree, 45 degree and 90 degree cutting angles. The adjustable coving mitre box has been designed purely for cutting coving and is therefore not as suitable for other applications as a multi-purpose mitre box.
