Depends on who is using it and how good their saw is.

I bought a medium quality ($18) plastic hand miter box at HD (there
were cheaper wood and plastic ones and a more expensive metal one).

I want to use it to cut 45 degree miters for ceiling molding.

How does the accuracy and finish of hand cut miters compare with the
results from a reasonable quality electric miter box?

Thanks
