Guitar fret mitre boxes are designed specifically for cutting the grooves for frets on a guitar. The saw is placed between rollers to allow for a very smooth and accurate cut. The magic mitre box is used for cutting mitres in architraves, skirting and dado rails to the exact angle of the corner of a wall. A template is used to transfer internal or external angles to a sliding jig. Connecting the template to the mitre sets the angle in equal proportions either side of the saw. Adjustable mitre boxes allow a variety of sizes of workpiece to be held securely in place as the mitre box walls can be adjusted to match the size of the workpiece .

With the toe clamped into a vice for stability and the mitre standing upright, a cut at 45 degrees can be made, cutting down following the Tufnol surfaces. 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. There are metal base stops fitted into the base of the mitre box that can be adjusted so that the box can accommodate a variety of sizes of coving. Features such as etched measurements or magnified windows can help promote accuracy and ensure precise cuts. Etched measurements indicate where the saw blade should be positioned while magnified windows allow visibility when making delicate adjustments or fine cuts. Support Features
