Make 90 degree cuts with clamping Miter Box, adjustable saw width

thingiverse

A very nice tool to cut your metal (and wooden) profiles at 90 degrees. If you're like me, it's a pain to saw straight edges. With this tool it will become much easier. The saw width is adjustable to guarantee there is no play. The box itself also acts as a vise and secures your part as strong as you want. To prevent it from fast degeneration the beaks for the saw guides are metal (aluminum or steel, 1.5 or 2 mm thickness). Along with the ability to replace these metal parts, it will significantly extend the lifespan of the tool. Adjusting the width of the beak: Assemble the two blocks with the four bolts, place your hacksaw in the beak and move the blocks so that your saw is just not stuck. Tighten the bolts securely. Try the saw from top to bottom. What is the maximum width of your object/profile? That's up to you: If you use 80 mm long threaded rods the maximum net width will be around 20 mm (which is also the minimum width). Every extra length over the 80 mm will extend the possible width with that same length. If your workpiece is narrower than 20 millimeters, use something to fill that width. Calibration cubes are ideal for this. Be aware that the part behind the saw guide is not clamping (on purpose). Two versions: The normal version has a net height of 40 mm and a length of 10 cm for the clamping area (part before the saw guide). There is also an XL-version with a net height of 50 mm and a length of 13.5 cm. Extras: Table hook/edge to secure the miter box against the edge of your workbench. If you don't mount the box to your workbench or waste board with screws or bolts (holes are included), this extra part will greatly help to keep it stable. Usable on both sides. Stop block. If you mount the miter box and this stop block directly to a board or workbench, you have a fixed length. Well the pictures will explain more than words, so take a look at them. Also read the print settings and Post-printing sections. Happy sawing! Look for more tools and the like here: https://www.thingiverse.com/Coat/collections/coats-toolbox
