4.0 out of 5 stars Stanley 20-800 Contractor Grade Clamping Mitre Box, September 6, 2002
If your needs are limited to the occasional baseboard replacement, science project, or picture frame, this tool will do the job extremely well. We tend to work on home remodeling projects as a family, and this would be a very good tool for use by adolescents, or others intimidated by power saws. The cam hold downs do an excellent job of keeping little fingers away from the business end.

I've used three similar manual tools with frame saws made by other manufacturers. This one worked very well and performs nearly as well as a European version at about 1/16 the price. Assembly is pretty easy with most of the critical components pre-assembled. It took us about 15 minutes. The core of the device is "protractor head" of light alloy material and the rest of the frame is steel and what seems to be a filled plastic material; durable but not "bomb proof".

The cut is very clean and accurate. We did a couple of test cuts on fir molding then flipped the joints back and forth to test for accuracy and it was "dead on" at 90 and 45 degrees. We didn't try the other angles as my spouse wants our remodeling project done in her lifetime. It is pretty light weight and I would recommend attaching the saw to a board. We drilled some holes into the top of the Workmate and attached the saw with some bolts and wing nuts. (Our Workmate has numerous holes for attaching drill presses, bench top saws, etc.) The cam locks do a very good job of holding the work fast; however our neighbor couldn't figure them out. It's worth the few minutes to figure it out - the cut is much cleaner with a very narrow kerf. The saw also has a length stop for repeat cuts, but almost all of our cuts exceeded the capacity.

We felt there are three drawbacks to the saw.
1. We felt the saw stroke was shorter than we would have liked and would concentrate wear on one section of the blade. However, we made nearly 100 cuts in fir and the blade still looks good
2. You can't adjust the vertical angle. For most users this shouldn't be a problem, but if you are cutting very wide crown molding, you can't make compound cuts in one pass
3. If you need to cut at an angle other than indicated on the protractor base there are no detents to go between the preset angles, not a big issue unless you are making science/engineering project to cut some gagdet at 53.7 degrees (we've also been cutting aluminum tubes with it)

The precision mitre box saw represents a very good value and while not as sexy as a power saw, gets the job done. If this one was stolen or lost, I'd buy another one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Product - No Replacement Blades., November 23, 2005
By One World One People (Round Rock, TX) - See all my reviews
I have been using this saw primarily for cutting quarter round after installing a hardwood floor. The saw works great and the cuts are very accurate. Unfortunately, I also used it to make some cuts on some old subflooring that had floor leveling compound on it. The box said that the blade was replaceable, so I didn't think there would be a problem finding one. Now the blade is very dull and I can't find a replacement blade anywhere, so far, not even online.

1.0 out of 5 stars Save your money, July 22, 2007
I needed something just a bit more useful than my old wooden miter box, so I got this at my hardware store. I am a single woman with an old house and just the occasional project. I'm moderately handy, but this tacky tool just frustrated me to tears.

1) I don't know for whom it is "ergonomically" designed, but its handle is cocked at an awkward angle and made my hand ache almost immediately. Trying to create eight cuts for a picture frame is a terrible struggle.

2) I have used it for three (very small!) projects with soft wood moldings and the blade is already dull. I cannot replace it anywhere -- there just simply aren't spare blades.

3. It is almost impossible to adjust off a simple 45 degree angle-- the cheap plastic base won't hold true.

I ruined a picture frame trying to hack through it with this dull awkward tool. I'm saving my pennies now for a powered miter saw.
