How Do You Use a Simple Miter Box for Basic Angled Cuts?Simple craft miter boxes allow you to cut straight or 45 degree angles for scale woodworking projects when used with a craft or razor saw.Answer: To use a craft miter box, first mark the cut you wish to make on your wood. Line the miter box up with the edge of a work surface. Many boxes have a lip that drops over the edge of a worktable to help secure the miter box. Insert your wood so that it is lined up and held against one side of the miter box. Set your razor saw through the miter box slots for the angle you wish to cut and cut alongside the mark you made on your wood. There are also a number of other miter cutting systems which allow you to cut any angle you choose, but for the most used angles, rigid miter boxes like the one shown are fine.
