Clamping Mitre Box STANLEY 1-20-112 — 114 mm width, 212.1 mm height, 680 g

The STANLEY Clamping Mitre Box 1-20-112 is a single-piece guide designed to help achieve accurate angled cuts for small woodworking tasks. With a compact footprint of 114 mm width and 212.1 mm height and weighing 680 g, the mitre box accepts a hand saw and provides guided 45° and 90° cross- and mitre-cuts. An integrated clamping mechanism holds workpieces securely in position to reduce movement and improve repeatability when cutting trim, moulding and other narrow stock.

Advantages

The clamping feature secures the workpiece for safer, more consistent cuts while the rigid single-piece construction keeps the saw aligned for accuracy. The lightweight and compact design makes the tool easy to position and store. Straightforward geometry provides clear guidance for standard 45° and 90° cuts, reducing setup time compared with freehand cutting. The tool is compatible with common hand saw types used for finishing work.

Suitable for

• Cutting trim and baseboard to length
• Mitering mouldings for corner joints
• Small carpentry and finishing tasks
• DIY home improvement projects requiring repeatable angled cuts

Key specifications

• Overall width: 114 mm
• Overall height: 212.1 mm
• Weight: 680 g
• Cutting angles: 45° and 90° guidance for cross and mitre cuts
• Construction: single-piece mitre box with integrated clamp
• Compatibility: designed for use with manual hand saws for finishing work

How to use

Place the mitre box on a stable work surface and position the workpiece in the desired slot for either 45° or 90° cuts. Engage the integrated clamp to hold the material firmly against the guide face. Insert an appropriate hand saw into the guide slot and make steady, even strokes to complete the cut. Release the clamp and remove the workpiece only after the saw has cleared the cut to maintain accuracy and safety.

Usage recommendations

Use a fine-toothed finishing saw for cleaner edges on trim and moulding. Ensure the mitre box is held or fixed to the work surface if cutting longer pieces to prevent shifting. Regularly inspect the guide slots for wear and keep the clamping surfaces clean to maintain repeatable accuracy.
