It's called a "miter master," and is available at Micro Mark, located at http://www.micromark.com It's $19.95, but they generally have a summer sale catalog that comes out in May and runs for about 3 months with some pretty good deals in it. They've got a couple other miter-cutting aids, but heck, even their 8" compound miter saw (electric) is only $70. -- Chuck *#:^) chaz3913(AT)yahoo(DOT)com Anti-spam sig: please remove "NO SPAM" from e-mail address to reply.

Sorry but this is nothing more than a glorified pair of pruning shears with all of the crushed fibre aspect retained. Gerry :-)} London, Canada |

I do, and for mitering thin stock I haven't noticed a lot of crushing, but
the blade is very sharp & when I go lightly over the cut with an emeryboard for acrylic nails the wood appears to be un-crushed. For mitering baseboards to fit into a corner I use the miter box & Exacto saw. |
