Storage

Wonkee Donkee It is important to store your tools safely and securely to prolong their working life As with all tools, if you take care of your mitre box it will last longer and remain accurate for longer. Wooden mitre boxes and blocks should always be kept in dry conditions and preferably where there is no dust to clog the saw guides and where they cannot be damaged.

Plastic and metal mitre boxes should be stored where they are not likely to be damaged and, in the case of plastic mitre boxes, out of direct sunlight which can degrade plastic.
