Larry asked about them new fangled miter boxes you see in stores today.....

I've got a NOBEX and think its ace.  It's very accurate with a high degree
of repeatability ( the turret has tight detents with a positive lock ).  The
"bow saw" makes for a highly tensioned blade which has very little flex
allowing you to trim extremely small amounts off stock.  It'll actually
accommodate stock larger than my 10" 'lectric chop box ( which has gotten me
out of a pinch more than once ).  It has cleverly placed groves along the
bed which will aid in holding stock "tilted over" so you can do compound
miters ( never actually tried this - but think it would do a pretty good job
).  All this and its a pleasure to use as the noise level is obviously
pretty low.  All and all - very well made.

Incidentally - I got this thing about 10 years ago when I needed to do some
finish trim work at my folks house.  I bought this thing more out of
necessity as at the time I couldn't swing the dough for a decent tailed
miter saw.  Now that I think about it - it's probably that saw that got me
on the hand tool slope ( eventually finding the older variety to be superior
in most instances ).

Oh ya...No affiliation...bla,bla,bla...
