What a beautiful saw,Derek!!!! Great handle!
The only miter box saw I have is a Jorgenson with a wire tensioned blade,similar to the Ulmia type saws shown in posts above. I had to re make all of the quarter round moldings in the entire house when we bought this 1949 house. They were all removed back in the 70's,apparently(because they also sawed the doors 1 1/2" shorter when they installed shag carpeting.) I really think that they used a chain saw for shortening the doors,so horribly rough were they cut. Ended up replacing all the doors in the house! Getting the old paint off turned out to be much too much trouble.
The miter box worked quite accurately,and soon the house was refitted with quarter round moldings.
I used a hand powered miter saw because I was trying to not raise a lot of dust all over the house.
The miter saw outfit was purchased NOS for a fraction of the retail price where I have been buying used machinery and tooling for many years. The little teeth were filed too aggressive,and the saw grabbed a lot. I was hoping that with use the teeth would dull just a bit and get less grabby. They never did,using the soft wood I was using. I had no shop set up at the time to re configure the saw teeth,nor did I want to! Too many other renovations to do. As David mentioned,miter saw teeth are quite small,and very numerous. All my shop was in boxes as we were moving into the house.
