For
this month's tool video I thought I would talk about another of my
favorite (and useful) cutting tools, my X-Acto Small Mitre Box and
Razor Saw. I have had these for far longer than I have had the Easy
Cutter. I do like that this set will cut thicker pieces of wood and
that the cut is always very straight. They are a bit more work to use
than the Easy Cutter which is why they don't get used as much.

I
do recommend that if you are looking for these you look at a local
hobby store that caters to the model railroad builders. I usually
find the best price on these in such stores. (take a bit of time to
look at the other items in the store while you are there. I usually
find several things to purchase on the average visit)
One
of the features of the Razor Saw that I love is how easy it is to
change the blade, and you can get many different blades for them. I
think the one I had in the video that is at least the 5th
blade portion I have had on that particular handle. You can get the
blade portion in very coarse to very fine tooth configurations
depending on what you are going to use it for.
Here
is a link the X-Acto website so you can get a better look at the
tool.
