Held together with one wing nut
This product worked for a short time. Then the one wing nut screw that holds the entire saw apparatus together stripped. Now the entire thing is useless.

Saw handle broke
The saw handle broke after just a few uses. I didn’t tighten too much either. Poor materials maybe. I have no idea how to just replace this saw handle as everything else is fine? Useless with this part broken.

Useless—buy different brand
I bought this new. The metal saw guides are not 90° to the base, resulting in crooked cuts every time. There is no adjustment for squaring the guides. Badly engineered. I tried using 0.025” thick aluminum shims to get close. See photos. Buy a powered miter saw instead and avoid this brand like the plague.
Also bought a B&D Workmate and it too was badly made.

Poor Quality - Out of Square
I thought this would be an upgrade to the yellow plastic box. WRONG! So many things wrong with this phony tool. I went back to the plastic box, I can make better cuts with that. The unit I received was not "Square". Look at the photo. Every cut I made, regardless of stroke technique, clamping of the trim to the metal brace technique, body english, the country tune that was playing on the radio, the intense face I was making.... NOTHING would eliminate the crooked cut. :( I found the saw cradle and uprights were not square to the gray bed, not even close. And it does not help that that saw guides are soft flimsy plastic, and the blade, NO rigidity, very thin and short. At least you get a rigid blade with the yellow box saw. Simply put, poor quality components. It is so far off! Out 1/4 inch over a 3 1/4 inch piece of trim. Don't wast your time with this. Borrow your neighbors electric unit. Most of those tend to make much better cuts.

Works well except...........
I use the saw for cutting smaller pieces of exotic hardwood.
If I need to trim 2" or less the piece wants to tip/fall into the
1/2" deep, upside down V miter degree indicator.
Even with clamps (and you better get some) the wood eventually
tips downward.
The cure:
Cut a 1/2" piece of scrap wood to fill the upside down V depression.
Photo shows mod.

I am a rookie DIY’er and decided to add quarter round and purchased this box saw and I am so happy I did. Was very easy to assemble and use. To help me with the project I cut templates to be familiar with cuts and what I needed for joining; once I figured out the cuts it couldn’t get any easier with the product. I would recommend and think it was worth the money; I had the yellow plastic box saw in the past and this is definitely much better.

Assembly was quick and easy. Saw and miter box are quite sturdy and results have been excellent. The body of the miter box is metal not plastic. Adjusting for different angle cuts is done by simply pushing a button and moving saw to desired angle. Have had the saw and miter box for about two weeks and have used it almost daily.

Junk. Handle literally fell apart on the first stroke of the first cut. Plastic disintegrated. Customer service was useless. I wanted a new handle. They want me to send the saw to their warranty facility at my expense. Garbage ever since Black and Decker bought Stanley. Would give it zero stars if possible.

This Clamping Mitre Box with Saw is an unbelievable value. Solid, great-quality construction, one of the very few with a 60-degree set angle, and the price is very much worth the investment! Thank you Home Depot!

The blade is an impressive 20+ inches but don't be fooled. The effective cutting capacity (the widest stock you can cut) is 6 5/8 inches. This is actually 1 3/8 inches less that the cheapie $8.95 block/saw kits. When I read about the 20" inch blade, I bought this item to cut 10" shelving stock. Common sense told me that 20 inch blade should easily cut 10 inch stock. I guess I was wrong. I made a jig that allowed me to cut the stock, but it was a complex contraption. Also the blade that comes with this item is not very durable and does not keep it's edge well. Generally I like Stanley tools---This item being the exception.
