Skirting board mitre box

The guitar fret mitre box can be screwed to a workbench using the mounting holes provided to ensure a firm and stable base. Coving mitre - These boxes can be adjustable to accommodate different sized coving, or non-adjustable for standard-sized coving. It features a curved base to support more delicate coving types to ensure a precise cut The skirting board is placed between the base board and top board and clamped down using the thumb screws. A multi-purpose mitre box is typically made from lightweight, high impact ABS plastic which is hard-wearing and suitable for use in all conditions.

Multipurpose mitre boxes can be used on a range of workpieces, including skirting boards, dado rails, coving and general carpentry work where a precise and accurate mitre joint is required.The tile trim is placed up against the shoulder to help support the delicate tile trim, enabling a more accurate and precise cut without damaging the trim. There are normally pre-drilled holes in the base of the mitre box to enable you to secure the tool to a workbench. Coving comes in a range of sizes (both depth and height) and an adjustable coving mitre box is suitable for all coving up to 280mm (11″) across the ceiling and 223mm (8.75″) down the wall.
