Asic French Made Jig Vise Miter Cutter

Part # 126.499 7 In Stock Weight -- lb / -- g
Current price $272.00

Description

A jig vise miter cutter guides a saw or file so tubing, wire and sheet come out flat and square at a repeatable angle. The Asic 3308 French Made Jig Vise Miter Cutter is widely regarded as the world's best-selling jig vise miter cutter, and for good reason. It is machined from super-hard tool steel rated at 58 HRC and manufactured in France, and it delivers perfectly flat 90 degree and 45 degree cuts on tubing, wire and sheet stock with exceptional repeatability.

Measuring 1-7/8" x 2-3/4", the vise accepts stock up to 1/2" thick. The lower opening guides your saw or file for clean 90 degree cuts, while the upper opening positions stock for precise 45 degree cuts. Both the flat 90 degree slot and the 45 degree slot carry a small integrated stop, with 35mm of clearance from that stop to the edge of the tool, so you can work with flat sheet pieces up to 35mm in length.

The tool can be mounted securely in a bench vise or held comfortably in hand. Simply saw or file against the hardened steel guide, and the result is a perfectly flat, square surface every time. An adjustable stop is included for making repeat cuts of identical length, along with a hex key for locking the stop in place.

File killer!

The Swiss version is the best ; I owned one years ago. My only complaint with these tools is it ruins files so, if you have an old file that's the best thing to use since it's already old and it's worn out you're not going to ruin an old file but if you use a new or even a Valtitan file it's going to affect the file and ruin it after a time. When I did own this tool years ago I also had a milling machine and I arranged to cut small wire and tubing in the milling machine thereby I didn't have to ruin my files. In the end I do recommend buying a small milling machine to do these small tubes and wires and and then just create a little jig that helps with the cuts.

Got a good one

The first one I got had a serious problem-you couldn't cut a flat piece on it as the jaws were not allinged. Seems they had a bad batch in the fall of 2015. Got it replaced and it is all true and allows for flat filing. Love this tool and can't live without it. Very good customer service as they explained it all and paid for shipping all around.

Great Tool but has a defect

I've written this review twice before and Otto Frei has neglected to post it. Let's see if my third review gets posted. This is a useful and well made tool but it has a manufacturer's defect, which is the reason the price has been reduced (in my opinion). The miter vise sticks, it's almost impossible to open. I was aware of this because a friend had the same problem. But, if you're willing to do some filing you can correct the problem and have a great tool at a very reduced price.

What is the difference in the quality and the way they work with all the price ranges?

The more you pay the better the fit and finish. The lowest prices models however work just as well for their basic function, which is allowing you to make flush cuts. Some people cook with thousand dollar knives but most folks do not.
