Olson Saw 35-241 Fine Kerf Saw 35-550 42 tpi with Aluminum Thin Slot Miter Box, Slot Size .014-Inch, Slot Angles 45, 60, 90, Cutting Depth 7/8-Inch, Pack of 1

Really fine blade for exact cuts. The included metal cut-guide is perfect. Great price too.

To be honest, I’ve only used the 90deg angle slot, BUT in comparison to the quality of cuts I used to get with my regular mini miter box (which is ever so slightly smaller, but most importantly, the slots are much wider!), I get a consistent and correct cut EVERY SINGLE TIME I use this thin-slot mitre box. Previously, aka when I used the other, more commonly-available small mitre box, I got a variety of inconsistent, and more importantly, imprecise cuts no matter what I did to try to fix it. With this box instead, I get exactly what I’m looking for every time I use it. To be fair, the other mitre box has many more of these slots for the things I am cutting of varying widths, enabling me to keep the cutting material more steady. Despite this difference, the thin slot box still gets an incredibly higher-quality, precise result every time! I highly recommend this thing!!!! And the saw ain’t bad either — it turns out that I needed to replace my blade of my usual saw that’s made by the same company, bc this one cuts with SO MUCH MORE EASE, and the cut takes fare less time to make happen. I recommend this, and it was totally worth the money!

Does work well for precision cuts

I do alot of woodworking and occasionally I use small decorative trim. Shelve edges cabinet trim, ect. Problem is, my 12" miter saw tends to tear up small delicate trim. I've been thinking about a small miter box for a while now. Since I was adding some small trim with our kitchen remodel, I thought it was a good excuse to pick this up. So happy with my purchase. I've made about 20 some cuts on some little trim and really happy how this cuts and how the joints all line up perfectly. Not going to say every cut was fine finish, that's just not realistic, but the cuts were good and a little sanding cleaning them up easily. The trim was pine and it cut fast and easy. Don't know why any one is saying it takes a while to cut. Might take a little more for hardwoods, but again, that is to be expected. Sure not a reason to knock the product. Unless you did get a dull one. Also, can't believe some one knocked this because it will wear out. Really? It's a saw and you are sawing on/in a metal box, both are going to wear out. That's what happens. Again, NOT a reason to take off stars. Not fair to the product. My only criticism is, I wish it had a way to mount it. Rather not have to hold the box and the piece being cut at the same time. I did mount it to the old counter top with a clamp, and that worked for the most part. I'll probably drill some holes to be able to mount it. Just would be nice if the manufacturer did that already, it would only improve a great tool. For the price, I am really happy with the purchase. Will buy again if/when it wears out, as it will eventually. That's what happens. One last thing, don't forget, there are not two 45 degree angles on this, one is 45 the other is 60. Duh moment for me when the first 90 corner did not match up. Not a problem with the product, my problem for nothing thinking or paying attention.

I do not understand the negative reviews on this item. This product is of excellent quality and easy to use. The angles in description are as promised. The saw is sharp and efficient. It is for small projects - a mini miter box, so do not expect to use for large projects. I do arts and crafts with paint sticks and tumbling tower blocks from the dollar tree and this miter box and saw makes cutting these so simple. I love it!! If you need a miter box and saw for small projects BUY THIS.

The good is it was actually bigger than I thought it would be. The saw is okay. There's nothing "great about it. When your cutting miters you really need to cut from both directions. When you are cutting miters you choose a side that is your reference side. And with moldings you almost have to. Many are decorative and you can not use the decorative side as your reference side. So you can't flip it around which this miter requires you to do as it only has miters to one side. I knew this before buying but it's really the only thing out there. You either get this, or you don't get anything. Secondly - there's no way to attach it to a work surface. Or a surface to clamp down to your work surface. So you have to modify by drilling your own holes. I need one so I bought this one... But with what it lacks, I'm looking for one that takes what it's used for and how it's used into account and adds the simple needed features. As soon as I find one that is fully featured, this one will be tossed into a drawer and forgotten about. We need a good, small miter for razor saws that's accurate and has all the features of the larger miter saws that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. And not some plastic crap that barely holds a toothpick either. A good one. Some one call China... or Taiwan or Korea - they probably already make one. So brand it and put it on the US market.

I am very happy with this small saw for cutting square dowels and very small wood pieces. Cuts angles perfectly. I read another user’s feedback and thanks, I have used a file to make the openings a tiny bit larger so it’s easier for the saw to slide into place, and that has kept it from getting dull faster. I also added a small piece of thin plywood to the bottom and I have it clamped to my table, making it easier to use. Definitely worth the price, as it has become much easier to cut and refine, and the saw has stayed very sharp after 3-4 months of use.

I love this little thing. I mostly use it to cut popsicle sticks and thin dowels for making terrain for tabletop war games. The size of the saw is perfect for my use case and is sturdy even when cutting through a thick stack of sticks. The saw horse makes cutting precisely very easy.
