So I have been building a lot of small boxes (jewelry, keepsake, etc) lately and have been doing miter corners for the boxes
I build a crosscut sled for the 45 miters, but it is a bit of a pain-e.g. taking it on and off, etc.
I have looking at the Incra Miter1000 and have been wondering about using it instead.
Does anyone have any experience using it to cut miters for boxes? (not for picture frames, but for the corners for the boxes)
The sled is nice because it is a sled, so the work piece rides on the sled whereas with the Incra there is the friction between the table and the work piece. I am worried that as I am cutting longer piece, so 6 or 8 inches, the board will shift during the cut and my miter will be out.
