Mitre box

A mitre box or miter box (American English) is a wood working appliance used to guide a hand saw for making precise cuts, usually 45° mitre cuts. Traditional mitre boxes are simple in construction and made of wood, while adjustable mitre boxes are made of metal and can be adjusted for cutting any angle from 45° to 90°.

In many workshops and jobsites mitre boxes have been superseded by the powered mitre saw, however advocates for mitre boxes argue that they are more accurate, safer, quieter, cheaper, and take up less space than a powered mitre saw.
