Mitre Box

Types of mitre blocks or boxes

Mitre Boxes (aka Mitre Blocks) are used to guide saws to cut accurately 45⁰ mitres to make corner joints - and also 90⁰ right angle cuts.

They are typically used with a Tenon saw, but for modelling work and craftwork, smaller versions are available for use with a Razor Saw or Junior Hacksaw.

Mitres are also easily and safely cut using a Precision Mitre saw and trained adults can use a powered Mitre saw.
