A mitre box is a hand tool used to guide a handsaw when cutting timber, moulding, skirting, architrave and other materials at precise angles — most commonly 45° and 90°. Mitre boxes ensure accurate, repeatable cuts without the need for power tools, making them a practical addition to any carpenter's, builder's or renderer's toolkit. At BetonTools, we stock mitre boxes in plastic, timber and metal for tradies and DIYers across Australia.
Types of mitre boxes
Plastic and timber mitre boxes are lightweight and affordable, suitable for cutting lightweight mouldings and skirting boards. Metal mitre boxes are more rigid and durable, holding the saw guide firmly for more accurate cuts on heavier timber profiles. Adjustable mitre boxes allow cuts at a wider range of angles beyond the standard 45° and 90°. Pair with a quality handsaw or tenon saw for best results.
