is it worth me spending £40 on a "magic mitre" or would an ordinary mitre block do the job?

make one easier then buying one this is wot i did when first started

Depends how skilful and confident you are with a saw, I think they are ideal for DIY ers. Most trades wouldn't use it, in fact they'd probably get kicked off site if they did.

ordinary one just as good

what is a magic mitre ???. Been a carpenter for 32 years.

HI THERE IF YOU HAVE GOT A GOOD EYE JUST DO IT BY HAND BUT FOR A D.I.Y. WORKER YER JUST A MITRE BLOCK WILL DO BUT WHAT ARE YOU CUTTING FIRST

Ordinary one would keep your cost down !!!

magic mitre? thats new to me and i'm upto date on technology?? :-) mitre mate sounds similar and is about £10 it is a spray adhesive ideal for kitchen fitting and a must for a pro finish.
