Default Newbie: Any Mitre Boxes for PC?

Does anybody have knowledge of commercial mitre boxes (or designs)? I'm
relatively new to PC, and I can't use my woodworking mitre box (with a
saw) on such delicate things like 1/32" translucent slabs for a PC
stained glass, for example. I'd like to be able to do perfect 72degree
cross-sections, for example.

I saw an online chat archive from ClayAlley, circa 2002, that mentioned
this idea, but they don't seem to have built any for sale. I have some
ideas for the product, but I'd rather buy than build, if the price is right.

TIA,
Carlo

A jewelers saw might work, they have very fine blades.

Go to a hobby store and get an Xacto brand hobby mitre saw kit. Has a small
saw and miter box that is hobby scaled with finer toothed blades.
