Do you need a mitre box to use this saw?

You don't need a miter box to use this saw unless you are cutting precise angles. I don't even think it has enough blade clearance to use a miter box. Also remember, this hacksaw was designed to cut metal not wood.

A sawzall is not a precision cutting instrument and while you could use it with a miter box, you would not get a good cut, especially for something like a picture frame miter.If you do enough picture frame miters, buy a hand saw based miter box like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Stanley-20-800-Contractor-Grade-Clamping/dp/B00005QVQW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid;=1400762625&sr;=8-2&keywords;=miter+box

This saw came in a box without a battery or blade. Since I own several Ryobi power tools, I already had a battery for it. You can buy various blades on Amazon.

I don't see why it wouldn't because it's certainly thin enough to fit in the slot of the miter box. It's a great saw, we love it.

No, but you will be happy that you bought this saw. It has power and is very smooth running. I researched for awhile before I bought this and I'm very happy with this saw.

Not unless you have a miter box. The problem isn't the saw - it makes fantastic cuts. The problem is that trim and moulding require very precise angles at the cuts, or else you get ugly gaps and mis-matched joints. To do that with any handsaw you either need superhuman control of your arm, or you need a miter box.

Yes. But you cannot use wood cutting blades . What you need are jewellers saw blades. These are not pin end blades, so you will need to use the attachment for plain end blades that comes with your saw.However, I would advise spending a little more and getting a better scroll saw that has a better setup for plain end blades. It will take a little practice, because jewellers blades are quite brittle and you will break quite a few until you learn how to use them.

No Box is included, all "Bare Tool" items from Makita are intended for users that already have the charging unit and battery. It is the most economical way to add tools to your Makita collection.

yes you can but you will have to reverse the blade and you may want to get a longer blade so that it stays in the guide of the box.Good luck.

No. Only the 10" blade cartridge comes with the saw. The 8" dado cartridge is extra and is more expensive. (about $90) If you put the dado set in the machine, it will not run unless you also put in the proper cartridge.

Yes. I made a base for my miter saw out of 3/4 inch plywood and put a 2x4 in the center of the base. I then put the base in the workmate and tighten it up and was really to tackle any type of cutting that needed to be done. I hope that this will be helpful for you.

No, you need a jigsaw for something like that. This one is like a cheap small version of a sawzall and it vibrates, a lot.

No this saw is design for metal only, you would want to purchase a mitter saw for wood

Yes, but you have to buy the brackets to mount the miter saw to the work stand.

the saw yes, but the blade that comes with it is a gapless blade with a rather rough diamond embedding. with the proper blade it should work for your task

No but it kind of defeats the purpose of this saw. There are much cheaper options if you don't need or want the track system.

I had to purchase the rail (which is about 50 some inches long) separately and there was no case. It seems to be an ok saw for a diy'r , but if your looking for a good track saw to be used for work projects on a regular basis, I would invest the extra money in one of those higher quality units like a festool or something like that
