The Orac Decor FB13 Mitre Box is an essential tool for DIY enthusiasts and professionals tasked with installing interior decorative mouldings such as coving, skirting, and dado rails. Its primary benefit is the ability to achieve precise 45°, 90°, and 22.5° cuts, ensuring seamless corner joins and professional finishes for your interior projects. A notable caveat is that this tool is specifically optimized for lightweight interior mouldings and has physical capacity limits, making it unsuitable for heavy-duty timber or profiles exceeding 125mm in height or 155mm in projection.

No, the FB13 is designed for lightweight interior decorative mouldings like those produced by Orac Decor and is not suitable for heavy-duty solid timber.
The box accommodates profiles up to 125mm in height and 155mm in projection.
While not strictly required for small pieces, clamping the box to your workbench is highly recommended for safety and accuracy when cutting longer lengths.
No, the FB13 is a standalone mitre box. You will need to provide your own hand saw.
The FB13 features designated slots for 22.5-degree cuts. Simply align your material with the marked slots on the box.
This tool is intended for interior decorative mouldings; it may not be durable enough for exterior-grade materials.
Ensure the locking lugs are fully engaged and check that the moulding is pressed firmly against the back fence.
Your saw blade may be too coarse. Use a fine-toothed saw (or a dedicated moulding saw) for a cleaner finish.
Double-check that the moulding is seated perfectly flush in the box; even a slight gap can cause a degree of variance in the angle.
To set up, place the FB13 on a flat, stable surface or secure it to your workbench using clamps if necessary to prevent shifting. Ensure that the moulding is seated flush against the back wall and base of the mitre box.
This tool is specifically designed for lightweight decorative interior mouldings. Do not attempt to use it for solid wood beams or large-format PVC profiles that exceed the 125mm height or 155mm projection limits.
