Product Information

Full details

The Faithfull Mitre Block (FAIMB9FSC) is an essential woodworking tool designed for woodworkers and DIY enthusiasts who require precise angle cuts for joinery and picture framing. Its primary benefit is the combination of durability and accuracy, achieved through its reinforced construction. However, users should note that as a manual tool, its precision is dependent on the user's sawing technique and the quality of the saw being used.

FAQs

Can this mitre block be used with a jigsaw?

No, this tool is designed exclusively for manual use with hand-operated tenon or backsaws.

What is the maximum width of wood I can cut?

The block is 60mm wide, so it is best suited for pieces of timber or molding that fit within this width.

Does this tool come with a saw?

No, the Faithfull Mitre Block is sold as a standalone guide tool.

Is this suitable for professional carpentry?

Yes, its reinforced design makes it durable enough for regular use in a professional workshop.

How do I ensure the cut is accurate?

Place your workpiece flush against the inner wall and use a sharp, rigid saw, maintaining a steady pressure throughout the cut.

Troubleshooting

The saw blade is binding in the guide slots.

Ensure you are using a standard tenon or backsaw of appropriate thickness and that the blade is not bent.

The angle cut is not square.

Check that the work piece is pushed firmly against the far wall of the mitre block before starting the cut.

The block moves during the cutting process.

Always clamp the mitre block firmly to your workbench using a clamp or screw it down to a sacrificial board.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reinforced structure prevents warping over time
  • Reliable accuracy for repetitive angle cuts
  • Compact size makes it easy to store in a tool bag
  • Budget-friendly and highly durable

Cons

  • Limited to specific 45 and 90-degree angles
  • Requires manual effort compared to power miter saws
  • Material capacity is restricted by the 60mm width

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, always secure the mitre block to a stable workbench using a G-clamp or similar fastener to prevent slipping during the cut. This tool is optimized for use with tenon or backsaws; using a saw that is too thick for the slots may cause binding, while one that is too thin might lack the necessary stiffness. To maintain the tool, ensure the slots remain free of sawdust accumulation after each use. Store in a dry environment to prevent moisture from affecting the glued joints of the block, and periodically inspect the screws to ensure they remain tight and flush with the surface.
