Here is the mitre box that I use. It is made by Zona and it came with a saw. I add some wood to the bottom of the box and I also mounted it to my bench.

I have the same miter box and saw.
I make my own miter boxes from scrap wood, usually oak or similar hard wood since I have the tools. As far as that $175 one - my father in law (whom I detested) would have thought it was a bargain. His attitude was if it costs the most, it has to be good - oh and he was my mother in law'ss 2nd husband and her acknowledged mistake and NOT my wife's father
I had one over 20 years bought in Spain: Model Reyna in Madrid. have a look at their homepage. there will for sure be some custom duty out the EU.

Oh.my.god that's so simple why didn't that occur to me! I still have the metal one and I'll do as you suggest right away.
With this simple, aluminum cutter, you can cut some other angles by cutting an angled strip of wood and clamp (or tape) it to the frame. It won't give you a wide range of angles, but it can be helpful at times.I was about to buy what I would call a miter cutter before Christmas. It was advertised as made in Canada with free delivery for $175.
Then I realized that the price was in US funds. With the monetary exchange and tax this came to a whopping $268. Made in Canada but in US funds..
I then found a miter box designed for hobbyists/ modelers on Amazon. This cost me a booming $20 delivered. This is one tiny item but is perfect for my needs: cutting miters and straight cuts on small pieces of wood. Although it only does 45 and 90 degrees I couldn’t justify the large price difference to buy the other one.
