Miter Cutting Jig Cut or score 45°- 60° and 90° angles accurately in sheet (up to 28.5mm wide), wire or tubing using this 3-hinge miter-cutting vise/jig. The vise features V-grooves that self-center around wire or tubing to ensure accuracy. Made from tool grade steel, this vise/jig is designed to smooth sharp edges and create even edges on wire. You can also securely hold tubing for filing, sawing or sanding. The slots on the base of the vise allow you to form a 45°, 60°, or a 90° angle on a piece of metal. Using a miter cutting vise is easy. File on this larger flat edge. Insert your metal into either slot. Lay one side of the metal flat and level. Leave a small strip of metal hanging out; this is the part you will file. Next, tighten the screw(s) until the inserted metal cannot be moved. It is important that the metal lines up flat in the jig. Now you can file your metal. This also works for creating a straight cut on wire or smoothing down edges on precious metal clays. Metalsmiths and jewelry designers use a miter jig for other projects such as wire wrapping to create consistent loops.
