Do you mean an adjustable mitre box Monica?

I'm not sure exactly what you want, but the cutting rulers with the wavy cross-section have been around for years, and still pretty good. Cheap too, at £3 to £4. They have graduations, so can be used as an ordinary ruler if you are not doing any cutting. They are steel, so will withstand a fair bit of abuse; or solvents & abrasives to clean it up if you need to


Like a lot of tools, once you have one, you'll wonder how you managed without it


Search & Surf for Jakar Safety Ruler and Maun Safety Ruler


Mitre boxes are usually made for carpenters, but again you could Search & Surf for model making mitre box or model engineer's mitre box, that sort of thing

ta,this sounds more along the line of what I,m looking for,


as if you have a sheet of balsa,and won,t to cut strips of say 5mm of it,so the cut is even,and straight,


down the length,in instead of making each end and cutting with a rule and blade, 9_9

this is what I,m looking for Master Airscrew Balsa Wood Stripper / Cutter, O.o


how would you know what some think like that is called, 9_9

[BBdave]

For a balsa stripper I use a razor blade screwed to a block of wood and use washers to space it off to suit the thickness I want.

yes ,Russell,that's the very type of thing,and dose that a right angle edge on one side, ?


I know someone ,not long ago,showed it,and it was you lol,


as for cutting stripes,would save so much time,and thinking,not measuring out both ends,and still ending out but 1/2 or 1/8 of  mm on each cut, 9_9
