I have need from time to time to cut some simple miters at my vacation
home. I don't want to lug my heavy Bosch CMS up there after first removing
it from the miter table I made. Does anyone own a miter box and saw that
they like and would recommend? I have done some online looking at reviews
and the results are very spotty.

TIA.

May I suggest a cheapo HF miter saw to leave up there?

I have a Stanley miter box and saw that I purchased years ago, but still
use it for cutting small pieces of wood. I do a lot of picture frames.
It does not to a good job of cutting trim cuts where you want to take of
less than about three blade widths to make some thing fit.

It is similar to this Sears model.
