Not really visible in that pic, you can see the one that runs down the middle of the block. I'll take a pic of mine when I go out to the van.

What saw is that Neale? I'd quite like a small chop saw for trims, a battery powered on would be ideal.

its a Proxxon KGS 80 but 240V only

I use a QUANSOL mitre box, its awesome.
Tile trim is still a tricky thing, I like the tip about cutting it a few centimetres longer then cutting it accurate.
Niche boxes are causing me headaches now....I don't think I'll tell any clients about them anymore!

There not cheap though Neale...

 

[Gazzer]

nope but got mine used from Fleabay, and sourced cheaper wheels. When I bought it I was doing lots of shop fronts with stainless trim and its a god send.

I bloody hate mitre boxes, the grooves tend to get worn and chaffed, wether that's me leaning too much to one side or the placcy construction of the boxes,,not sure,,but a knobex type mitre saw has always worked well for me.

 

[Dougs Third Go]

oops mis-spelt the brand lol. but this type, there are generic ones out there that are cheaper but sometimes the holding centre pin works loose on them and you have to knock them back in to position

I bought 3 Deano mitre boxes yesterday at CTD £5.99+vat (special offer). I see them going for upto £15 on ebay!

They are selling like hot cakes. CTD sold 15 of them the previous day.

Deano must be a millionaire now!!........hopefully.

Why did I buy 3?.............I always buy multiples of items that are difficult to get hold of. I have a shed at the end of he garden that is full of spares and duplicates.
