UTILITY BOX
This mini mitre box, formed from an etched sheet of 0.9mm thick nickel silver, features a stylish anodised red finish. Supplied flat, the two sides simply need to be folded up to sit at right-angles to the base, so a set square will help when setting it up.
At 95mm long, 36mm wide and 20mm tall, it’s compact enough to fit within a typical modeller’s toolbox and the sides feature a selection of cutting slots to create crosscuts of 45º, 60º, 75º, 90º, 105º, and 120º. There’s also 30º/150º slots at one end – ideal for chamfering stock. The angles are annotated beside each slot and guidelines are rendered in the base for easy visual reference.
