mitre cutters

[bluenos2]

I am in the market for a new mitre cutter. Have an old hand held unit like a pair of shears. works not bad, but I was looking around and found a mitre cutting station from RP TOOLZ. Retails Canadian for around $200.00 plus shipping from Europe. So probably around $300.00 by the time I could get my hands on it. That's out of my price point. If the Admiral found out I bought it I would be swabbing decks till I go to Davey Jones locker. I noticed a company called DSPIAE makes a knock off unit that I could get for $82.33. I have looked at some you tubes and it seems to work well. Just wondering if any of you have this unit and would be interested in your review. I have the DSPIAE rotary tool and it works well.

From the quick internet search just conducted it looks like how much you are going to spend depends on what you are going to use the mitre cutter for. I saw Rockler & Grizzly both have one in the $250-$280 range that are for full-size mitre work (such as picture frames & moldings). The only DSPIAE one I saw was on Amazon ($60 range) and is for model scale work.

Thanks for mentioning DSPIAE; I now have another tool site to explore to find something that I just don't seem to be able to get along without.

Good luck with your search.

The cutter would be for cutting ship planking only. Both suppliers in Canada won't stock the RP TOOLZ cutter because of the high price and costs they now charge for shipping.
