Works great for acrylic tubes
I bought this to cut acrylic pipe after cracking it trying to cut it with other methods. I wasn’t sure at first but this was exactly what I needed. I bought this to cut the acrylic pipe for my ghostbusters inner cyclotron tubing on my Q pack. (The size I used was 14od and 12id.) The key is to wrap the acrylic piece in blue tape where you are going to cut it. The cuts are clean and come out pretty great. The blade is sharp and cuts nicely. I wouldn’t say that this setup is 100% perfectly straight cuts every time. Sometimes the edges aren’t perfectly straight But for the price it got the job done. I was able to sand the bottoms to get them straight enough. When you are cutting let the blade do the work. Don’t force the blade down too much. The only issue I had was i accidentally cut through the block. But that’s probably because of the way I was cutting. Overall this thing worked great.

Excel 6 in. saw with mitre box
Very nice little saw, very sharp. The handle is a standard #5 handle, so you can use it with different blades. I wish the mitre box was a little deeper.

Good for small thing
It’s tiny but seems made of good material. The blade is fairly sharp and the handle is comfortable enough. My issue is that it’s so small it’s difficult to hold onto. I’m returning because it did have issues cutting through a 3/4” dowel which is why I bought it. For smaller items, I think it would be great.

PAY ATTENTION WHEN ORDERING!!!
I did not pay close enough attention when I ordered this—this is a TINY mitre box for use with an exacto knife, for crafts. This is NOT for use with a regular sized wood or hack saw. If you are purchasing it for its intended purpose (crafts), it is well made and very handy! It is 1 5/8 inches wide by 5 1/8 inch long. It has grooves for cutting 45 and 90 degree angles. It does not have a groove for cutting 22.5 degree angles. I do recommend this well-made mitre box for very tiny work in hobbies and crafts. But you could do just as well (or better) with a regular $10 plastic mitre box (which also comes with a saw) that you can purchase at your local home improvement store with the initials HD. I write honest reviews to help others make informed purchases because I read reviews myself and appreciate how helpful they can be. I hope that my review helped you!

Major product oversights
Four Major quality and product function flaws. - Blades/supports extremely flimsy. Soft metals bend to the touch without pressure. - Handle is hollow cheap plastic that is to small for an average adult hand to use properly. - Fastening the blade to the handle will strip out the threads easily after a few uses. To secure the saw blade in place you have to almost strip it out to keep it from disengaging. - Miter box dimensions are too small (limiting), might have aluminum burs and shavings like mine did. Miter Box looked like someone had sanded the smooth flat larger finished ends because it was scratched all over in the finish. (Extremely poor workmanship). My overall review of this particular product, China garbage.. Bought this tool thinking made in the USA, could be a little better quality than our Chinese counterparts. Turns out not all US companies have quality control standards they have to meet. I found a way better quality/functioning hobby saw/miter box on Wish and for less. That alone speaks volumes. Rated and gave a review for the Wish hobby saw/miter box, 4 out of 5 stars. Normally their sellers are trying to peddle this cheaply made and overpriced garbage. Do not purchase this saw if you are an adult with average or larger hands, want to use product more than just a couple of times, want to cut anything else besides paper or balsa wood or want to obtain a decent quality hobby tool. Hope this review helps others make more informed purchasing decisions.
