Okay--stupid question time: Could I use this with a miter box? I'm tired of begging men tosaw things for me--like picture frame edges.

You could but the cut would be very rough - a drop saw or even a fine toothed hand saw with a mitre box would give you a much better finish.look at "Stanley 20-600 Clamping Mitre Box with Saw" about $14 USD

Yes, it would require the miter box and material to be secured leaving both hands to operate the saw. They have a variable speed switch and make sure to purchase a blade that is about 18 to 24 tooth make sure it is a wood blade the metal cutting blades will burn the cut edge and smoke. It would be to your best interest to test cut some material prior to your finished cuts. Be sure and buy the longer blades I.E. 12 inch. Good luck

I wouldn't use it for that purpose. It is not designed for that kind of delicate work and would not produce the kind of cut you would want on a picture frame. If you are making a lot of picture frames you should invest in a nice miter saw and put a really fine Diablo blade on it. You can get one for not much more than this bare tool DEWALT costs. I hope this helps Ana and best of luck with your projects.

No stupid questions --- only stupid answers! Yes, in theory this could be used with one of those simple wood miter boxes. One would need clamps or some other way to secure the workpiece to a table as this saw usually requires two hands to make a nice cut.

it would be my oppinion that a sawzall no matter the brand is not the correct tool for mitering picture frames. Respectfully Jim

yes you can but you will have to reverse the blade and you may want to get a longer blade so that it stays in the guide of the box.Good luck.

A sawzall is not a precision cutting instrument and while you could use it with a miter box, you would not get a good cut, especially for something like a picture frame miter.If you do enough picture frame miters, buy a hand saw based miter box like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Stanley-20-800-Contractor-Grade-Clamping/dp/B00005QVQW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid;=1400762625&sr;=8-2&keywords;=miter+box

no. you really don't need the miter. I purchased many of the 11000, they work beautifully. Gave many away a gifts.

I would if it would be appropriate. The cut is very fine and the edges are smooth. However, this is a free hand saw and not a guided miter saw, so the angles are not precise.Woody

Don't try it with this piece of crap. You should set the bevel on your circular saw or table saw to 45 degrees, and then run the blade across the wide side of the board. Do not try to set the miter and the bevel of a table saw at the same time, or else one side of your board will push more material through and your blade will bind up.

Yes & no you can't do slack sanding on this type sander, as far as the miter table goes just put the belt in the upright position, attach table, adjust and off you go!

Sure, just order this and and mount your tool to it or mount a piece of plywood with your tool mounted on it. Portamate PM-7002 Tool Mounts for Miter Saw Work Centers. $35.95 at Amazon.

Well, I would not do it-inadequate fence, inadequate miter gage for wood, too much blade exposed for a toothed blade. I like my fingers and eyes too much to try a wood saw blade in a metal cutting saw. Unless you are in need of a metal cut off saw, this is not the saw you want.

Don't see why not. It's nothing but a cover that should attach to any miter saw. It does work to contain sawdust from flying all over. Main negative is that it's a bulky item that needs to be stored when not in use.

Yes you can, if it doesn't fit properly it comes with brackets you can use and just about any saw will work.

This saw isn't nearly as heavy as a miter saw, so weight shouldn't be an issue. However, if you mount this on plywood, you WILL start a fire if you cut metal. It needs to be mounted on some kind of tile backer board. Sparks fly *far* out the back, and they go straight under the unit onto the table beneath.

From what I can see I do not think this can be done. You would be better off using the work bench brackets. Jim

Yes. What I did was took the guide bar off and used a sanding disk (a belt sander would work also, just be careful that you don't sand your fingers) and sanded off enough to make it fit the miter channel.

I think any miter or compound miter would bolt up I think they have a universal mount up kit as an optionIt's been a great stand capable of holding any thing that usually is hard to handle like posts yet it is great on trim Hope it helped

Miter cut like you would wood but you may need to file smooth. It is possible but order extra in case it chips with cutting. Some brands offer an outside corner or rounded corner piece that you could look for.

Ric, I use a 10" Portercable miter compound saw. I do not bolt it down on to the frame. Since I move it around. I cut a 3/4 plywood for where the saw will sit. When I get a chance to make up some bolts with wing nuts. So I can quickly take it apart and store it. I google your saw and say yes it would work. Have use this stand to cut trim for base, crown. Made in China, :(. But. So is Dewlat. Hope this help.

Yes it can. I have a Dewalt compound miter and a sliding miter. Love this stand, only thing is there are no quick release brackets, the saw is bolted on the stand.

yes with no problem.... you would need to use a straight cut bit, 1/4" or maybe even a little smaller 1/8" just take it easy and it would work fine.. you can do some amazing things with this tool.... you ought to see some of the artwork I have done with it.....
