The Dobson Miter-Rite

Sadly disappointed. Thought I’d would help with top-down angle cuts for craft projects but it doesn’t. The cutting board won’t last long as it is easily damaged. If the flimsy saw slides out, it’s a pain to get it back in. I would NOT recommend this product.I instead purchased hand-held miter shears that are a dream to use.

I like to do woodworking and around the house DIY projects as well as most of my own vehicle mechanic work. Fixing my own stuff is enjoyable with the right tools at hand. Sometimes I need a small piece of wood cut to a precise angle. With care this will do an angled cut on wood or plastic stock up to 5/8 inch thick x 2 inches wide. This is NOT sturdy or rugged. If I only need to cut a popsicle stick or a bit of balsa wood this will do it. The angle is settable but the whole miter is mostly plastic and not intended for anything but limited light use IMHO. I have dropped 1 Star due to that. When assembling the handle on the blade it is crucial I use minimal screw torque as this is not made to be tightened forcefully and absolutely not with a cordless hex driver. The instructions are good.I can at best give a Limited 4 Star Recommendation for this Micro-Mark Brand The Dobson Miter-Rite. The flimsiness limits the miter's usefulness.I hope you’ve found the information and my review helpful.

it's hard to keep the blade straight since what holds it is made of thin flimsy plastic

This saw is just big enough for trimming fingernails. It's a joke.

For smaller work this is excellent. It is very limited in the sizes it can manage, but if you work on small enough projects, this may well be all you need.The saw is nice, the blade is flat and sharp. The base is sturdy, but it feels weak. Once you get used to it it is a very nice tool.
