I've been checking some saws out and i like the saw names 'The Magic Saw', do a search on net and it seems rather good (theres a pretty neat video too). Has anyone used it ? Also how do you prevent the tile trim from moving in the mitre block ? I've found a block from Stanley which uses adjustable clamps...anyone used this ?



i have a small metal mitre block which i got from a train model shop... you know the sort when peopel make their own train world landscape thing (im not a train spotter) i used to use one in Germany and always liked it, but its no good for metal trims (most customers dont want to pay that little extra for crome/metals strips so plastic is what i normally use)the little metal mitre box and saw are fantastic.

very similar to this but it has a metal mitre block so lasts longer http://www.tinytools.co.uk/Saws_&_Sa...c84/index.html
