Draper Mini Mitre Block Box 200mm x 35mm x 50mm - 48677 - Wood Angle Cutting Guide Miter Tool

Product Information

There are numerous types of mitre box available, some for specialist craftsmen like guitar makers and some for DIYers who require a multi-purpose tool. Multi-purpose mitre - Designed for general-purpose woodworking, these mitre boxes tend to include a 22.5° slot as well as the usual 45° and 90° slots 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. 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.

The skirting board is placed between the base board and top board and clamped down using the thumb screws. Hardwood fences or clamps offer strength and stability when working with long pieces of wood that may be prone to shifting during operation. Additional features, like aluminum extrusions, offer reinforcement against any unexpected movement that may occur during cutting. Cost A tiler’s mitre box is typically made from zinc coated steel and is specially designed with a shoulder that runs along the length of one of the internal walls on the mitre box. This shoulder helps provide a firm base for metal or plastic trims used to create a neat and aesthetically pleasing edge to tiles.

To keep the mitre box stable and secure during use, there is a toe (where one end of both the top and bottom board extends beyond the rest of the mitre box) at each end. This enables the toe to be clamped in a vice, keeping the mitre box secure during use. Coving mitre - These boxes can be adjustable to accommodate different sized coving, or non-adjustable for standard-sized coving. It features a curved base to support more delicate coving types to ensure a precise cut This mitre box consists of a base board and a top board which can be clamped down to hold a length of skirting board. 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.
