Durall No. 416 Rock Maple Mitre Box

"The Durall No. 416: Because Batteries Die, but Rock Maple is Eternal."

Are you tired of your plastic miter box flexing like a pool noodle the moment you apply pressure? Do you miss the days when tools were made in Yonkers, not just shipped through a port?

Enter the Durall No. 416. It’s made of Rock Maple—the wood so tough it’s used for bowling alley floors and the occasional defensive weapon. This box doesn’t need a firmware update, it won't run out of charge in the middle of a project, and the only "user interface" is a sharp back saw and your own determination. It’s "More Durable," "More Accurate," and has survived longer than most modern start-ups. Buy it today and give your workbench the vintage dignity it deserves.

Product Details & Specs

This isn't just any piece of wood; it's engineered for precision before the era of cheap plastic guides.

• Material: Solid Rock Maple (Acer saccharum). As the stamp proudly proclaims, this is the hardest commercial wood, chosen because it resists the "sawing into the box" effect better than pine or oak.

• Construction: Kiln-dried, jointed, and features a rabbet cut base for stability.

• Angles: Pre-cut slots for 90∘ (cross-cut) and 45∘ (left/right miter) angles.

• Dimensions: Typically around 16 to 19 inches in length.

• Weight: Approximately 2 to 3 lbs (0.9–1.4 kg). It has a satisfying heft that keeps it from sliding around your workbench while you're trying to cut crown molding.
