Miter box

[Klong Song]

I need to cut some moulding for the house and have been looking for a miter box. It is a small job so an inexpensive wood or plastic model would suffice. Have checked Homepro, Megahome, Thai Watsadu and Boontavorn with no luck. Anyone have any suggestions?

Nope, I never found a mitre box either, ended up making my own (before I bought a mitre-saw).

 

Lots of DIY instructables on YouTube etc.

Do you do much DIY in your house? If so, it might be worth buying a cheap chop saw which will swing through 45° either way. They usually come with crap blades though, so you would have to budget for a decent TCT blade also. However, they are an invaluable tool, and well worth the investment if you do much around the house. A lot easier than a mitre box, too.

Thanks guys, looks like a cheap chop saw is in order.

Our Stanley mitre-saw came from Mega-Home, but all the big names have them.

 

Do be aware that in local language a "chop-saw" is one of the beasties intended for cutting up steel section (we have one of those as well).

 

EDIT

I like yellow tools :)

 

We have one of these https://www.directtoshop.com/product/1035571

 

 

And one of these https://www.directtoshop.com/product/1034862 (ok ours is a Stanley one but not shown on the HomePro site)

 

 

Came with a free angle-grinder (so I now have two).

Lazada sell mitre boxes along with the tennon saw although they refer to it as a backsaw. I was looking for one and it took quite a time to find it, but they are there and not too expensive at around 450 baht each, try putting this - เลื่อยปังตอ into the search box.

Hope it helps.
