## Description

You'll find saws for multiple applications. Select from 15-inch and 20-inch hand saws, a 10-inch fine-finish hand saw for cutting wood, plastic, and laminate, 12-inch hacksaw, and for those precision cuts, an adjustable miter box and clamping miter box both complete with saws.

Review: Perfect Saw for Small Projects and Clean Cuts - I picked up this 12-inch Craftsman miter saw after getting rid of my old chop saw, and it’s been a great move. It handles small projects perfectly — smooth, accurate cuts without any hassle. The clamp holds pieces steady, and the adjustments are easy to dial in. It’s got enough power for trim, framing, or light woodworking, and it’s not overly bulky to move around. For a reliable saw that does clean, precise work, this one hits the mark.
Review: Saw is short and not particularly "agressive" - I'm using this to cut 45 degree corners for some picture frames I'm making. This miter box and saw combination is perfectly functional and will get the job done. However!... When used on the 45 degree slots, the 12" saw has only about 2-3" of "throw" left with which to do the cutting. Being this short, one must be careful that the saw does not exit the slot on the far side. This issue may well be my fault since the miter box is wide enough to fit a 2x4 in (the wide way!) but my moulding is only about an inch wide... live and learn. The saw is also not particularly "agressive". While seemingly pretty sharp with lots of good sized teeth, the saw does *not* cut very well. I am cutting some very soft, thin, pine moulding and it's unbelievable to me how long it takes to cut through, even when taking the short stroke (mentioned earlier) into consideration. The idea of actually cutting a 2x4 with this short, "weak" saw is absolutely ludicrous... it would literally take all day! The plastic miter box is pretty much what I was expecting it to be... good enough for what I'm using it for but it's certainly not a metal box by any means and I've already cut into the material appreciably by making just 2 frames (8 corners = 16 cuts). I guess my biggest disappointment is the saw's short length (compared to the 45 degree slots) and weak cutting efficiency. But again, for the price, it gets the job done for my undemanding needs. So 4 stars.

## Features

- ACCURACY: The hand miter saw has cam-shaped pins twist and lock with honeycomb base to secure work for accurate cuts
- MULTIPLE CUT ANGLES: Cuts mitres on 45-degree and 90-degree angles and face angles on 45 degree and 22.5 degree for octagonal shapes
- Extended lip on base holds mitre box in place while cutting and a built-in saw stop helps prevent cutting into mitre box
- CONVENIENT STORAGE: Molded-in storage bins to hold cam pins and pencil
