January 17, 20233 yr Last time I stopped into the fab lab I used to teach at I found one of these sitting on a bench: Jointmaker Pro v2: https://bridgecitytools.com/products/jmpv2-jointmaker-pro?variant=31612291055729¤cy=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIw47R-c3O_AIVsRPUAR2ndwRxEAQYASABEgJpI_D_BwE Apparently both the young students and the new faculty were both so afraid of using the nice compound miter saws we have so they purchased it. The irony is that any of the fancy stuff that beast could so I used to do using the CNCs that were 15ft away from it. We also had a simple miter box with backsaw sitting on a shelf 10ft to the right. Fortunately there is a user manual you can download at the bottom of that page. 4D
January 19, 20233 yr My "Go-to" Mitre box...Stanley No. 358 For small items...Millers Falls No. 118(?) with it's 16" backsaw......it can take about any handsaw, too. IF you look in the background of this shot...a Langdon 75 and two Stanley mitre boxes and saws....a #346 and a #2246...
