Plastic Mitre Box Topex T 10A848 320×120×75 mm

The Topex Plastic Mitre Box T 10A848, size 320×120×75 mm, is a hand-held guide designed to assist in making accurate angled cuts with a handsaw. Molded from durable plastic, the mitre box provides fixed guide slots for standard angles, enabling stable, repeatable cuts in small timber, mouldings and trim. Its compact dimensions make it practical for use on-site or in a home workshop when cutting skirting boards, picture rails, and other finishing pieces.

Advantages

The molded plastic construction resists corrosion and reduces weight compared to metal alternatives while maintaining sufficient rigidity for guided sawing. Pre-formed angle slots allow quick alignment and reduce the need for repeated marking, improving cutting consistency. The compact footprint and open base design permit easy handling and removal of cut material. The product is compatible with common manual saw types used for woodworking and finishing tasks.

Suitable for

• Cutting small timber and mouldings (skirting boards, architraves, casings)
• DIY home renovation and trim work
• Craft and hobby woodworking projects
• On-site quick angled cuts where portability is required

Key specifications

• Overall dimensions: 320 × 120 × 75 mm
• Material: molded plastic
• Guide slots for common mitre angles for handsaw use
• Open base for saw-through cuts and waste removal
• Lightweight and portable design suitable for manual operation

How to use

Place the mitre box on a stable surface and position the workpiece in the base against the backstop. Choose the appropriate angle slot and align the saw with the guide slot. Hold the workpiece firmly and make controlled saw strokes following the guide until the cut is complete. For repeat cuts, re-seat the workpiece in the same position and use the same guide slot to ensure consistent results. Secure the mitre box or workpiece with clamps if additional stability is required.

Usage recommendations

Use a suitable handsaw with a comfortable tooth pattern for clean cuts in softwood or hardwood mouldings. Keep guide slots clear of debris to maintain accuracy and check seating of the workpiece before each cut. For angled joints that require high precision, verify each cut against a square or angle gauge and perform a test cut on scrap material when necessary.
