Rockler Miter Trimmer for Precision Picture Framing & Laminate Cuts | Miter Trimmer – Precision Miter Trimming – Laminate Cutter – Adjustable Angles – Smooth Cuts

This makes miter cuts for frames so much easier to get perfect. It is important to set the angles before you start but then it is easy to make them right every time.

Works great. Very sharp. Minus one star for being slightly awkward to adjust angle stops, but once adjusted it is very accurate and consistent. Making the first cut with a miter saw about 1/32" to 1/16" over size and then trimming with this tool worked well for making picture frames. Trimming more than 1/32" with some hardwoods requires a fair amount of force, which is normal. Trimming more than 1/16" is not recommended.This tool seems to be exactly the same as many other brands made in China, which should make it easy to find parts.

Was somewhat a challenge to get the setup just right-might still need to tweak. Well built-solid piece of equipment. Have always wanted this tool. I make a lot of picture frames and always struggled with sloppy miter joints-this will definitely take care of this issue.

Had been looking for a trimmer and was skeptical that I would find one that would meet expectations of the old Lion trimmer. I was pleasantly surprised. Clean, crisp miters. The trimmer is capable of extremely fine cuts. Fairly accurate miters were achievable out of the box. Some minor tweaking of adjustments allowed me to get miters that met expectations. I've used this for picture frames as well as door casings with great success.

Biggest complaint is the 45° stop (a push button) is difficult to hold down during the 90° to 45° transition and is barely tall enough to engage the fence once there. In fact the fence contacts the button on its rounded top rather than the barrel of the pin. The fence can therefore ride over the pin when using the cutter providing for inconsistency in the positioning. Bottom line is that the machine works but you need to check the fence position with a good square after each repositioning and you need to use pliers to put enough pressure on the locking thumbscrew to keep it from riding over the push button.

Received.

I've had this trimmer on my tool wish list for a long time, but haven't had a real need for it. I finally had a need of a couple of picture frames for myself and a request from family, too. This trimmer cut very accurate 45 degree corners and really upped my picture frame game! Well worth the price, if you have a need for precise 45 degree miters. The one tip I would share is that the harder the material is, the narrower the shaving of the cut should be.
