1.0 out of 5 stars Cheap Plastic, January 26, 2012

This product worked well for the first few cuts but then the saw began cutting into the sides of the guide slots as it is made from relatively soft plastic. Now it is impossible to make a straight cuts as the guide slots have been widened and angled by the saw biting into them. I have much experience with hobby crafting so this is not a result of misuse. I have since ordered a aluminum miter box. The one positive aspect of this product is the added angle (30 degrees?) in addition to the standard 90 and 45 degree guides but this is not enough to redeem this product. If you plan on using it for more than a few cuts invest in a metal miter box.

When sawing at non-extreme angles, the box works well. When you start getting too far off center, however, the saw gets wedged against the plastic from the force of the sawing and gets stuck. The included saw is actually quite nice, however, and with most light woods such as Balsa you can use the box to make a slight line on top of the wood and then you can just continue the cut by hand without the box. This has worked for me on the extreme angle cutting. This package is not expensive so I am basically happy with the purchase but not thrilled.

I bought this to cut wood and plastic dowels for making wedding cakes. Pretty happy with it although you need some strength in your hands to hold everything in place since the box and probably whatever you are cutting has no weight.
