Cutting/mitre box MODECO MN-65-566, plastic, 300×38 mm

MODECO MN-65-566 is a lightweight plastic cutting and mitre box sized 300×38 mm designed to guide handsaws and small cutting tools for accurate angled cuts. The device provides stable support for crosscuts and mitres in wood, plastic and other soft materials, allowing repeatable results on small workpieces. Its compact design makes it easy to carry and position for on-site tasks or home workshop use.

Advantages

The mitre box offers a simple, low-weight solution for controlling saw angle and cut stability without the need for complex setups. Molded guide slots keep the saw in a set cutting plane, reducing user error and improving consistency. The plastic construction resists corrosion and is easy to clean, while the 300×38 mm footprint fits common trim pieces and small panels. Its portability and uncomplicated operation make it practical for quick adjustments and repetitive cuts.

Suitable for

• Making crosscuts and 45° mitres in softwood and soft plastics
• Cutting door and window trims, skirting boards and picture frames
• DIY projects, hobby carpentry and small craft work
• On-site trimming and quick angled cuts where portability is required

Key specifications

• Material: plastic
• Usable length: 300 mm
• Channel height / working width: 38 mm
• Supported cutting angles: preset guide slots for common mitre angles (including 45° and 90°)
• Weight: lightweight, suitable for handheld positioning

How to use

Place the mitre box on a flat, stable surface and clamp or hold it securely to prevent movement. Position the workpiece inside the guide channel so that the cutting line aligns with the selected guide slot. Insert the handsaw into the slot and perform steady back-and-forth strokes, keeping the saw engaged in the guide to maintain the set angle. For repeat cuts, mark the workpieces and use the same slot and stop positions to reproduce the same length and angle.

Usage recommendations

Use a saw with a blade thickness that fits the molded guide slots without excessive play. Secure small or thin workpieces with clamps or a non-slip pad to improve safety and accuracy. Avoid forcing the saw: let the teeth do the cutting with controlled strokes. Clean sawdust from the guide channels regularly to maintain precise alignment.
