Mitre Paring Block (Individual)

These work perfectly! I had actually given up on attempting mitres with hand tools, as it was just too frustrating, but I just managed to make my first absolutely perfect mitre joint. Extremely satisfying :)
Just make sure to use a solid and strong clamp, to prevent the guide from slipping back under pressure, especially when working on hard wood. As my clamp wasn't doing the job, my solution was to place a thin anti-slip mat between workpiece and guide. This solved the problem perfectly for me.

Well designed and allows you to get your miters dialed in quickly. I noticed an immediate improvement in my mitered dovetails. Definitely recommend.

I used these mitre paring blocks on a recent dovetail box course. I was ambivalent at first, as I have made my own paring blocks out of scrap, but these are so much more precise. The design is well thought through and once they are clamped in place, they don't move. If you want to take mitred dovetails to the next level, then you need these in your workshop.

Really pleased with the quality of the mitre paring blocks. They make the process of getting a 45 degree angle easier. You need to have sharp chisels with a flat back to creep up to the line. The different sizes will make it easier for large and small mitres.

Cutting mitres can be very stressful: exactly 45 degrees, exactly square and that at exactly the right length.. times 8!
Matt's mitre paring blocks make the whole process a lot easier. Precisely made, durable and convenient. Definitely a good investment.

They worked really well. Simple to set up and use, especially if you watch the video. My first test mitred dovetails were quick and easy to make, and the mitres were bang on, straight off the blocks.

I made my first mitre paring block but soon wore out, so these these are a fine addition to my workshop. Thanks for very well presented tool as usual from an amazing team.

Best tenner I’ve spent in ages. Making a perfect pairing jig is a technical challenge if you don’t have access to accurate machines. If you’d rather get on with your project than building another jig this is the tool for you.

Until I got these blocks I made my own jig to pare my mitered dovetails, which is not hard to do—but these blocks are very convenient, not only because I don’t have to cut a precise 45° myself, but (a) they are easy to align with my piece, (b) easy to clamp without the clamp interfering with the chisel, and (c) they are mitered on both sides so I can just slide them on piece instead of unclamping and turning them around.

Honestly my most used gadget to getting my miters perfect. Truly invaluable.

Great set of blocks. Superb quality, good range of sizes, very straightforward to use with a little care.
Well priced, prompt delivery and good communications. All round great buying experience.

They work a treat and deliver a nice crisp 45' corner

Prfect fit, easy to work with, and thanks for gift given with

Bit of a struggle to clamp hard for very small beading but great product brilliant
I’ve been holding out for something to get correct mitres

i have not yet used the paring blocks[pack of five] but they are well made and sturdy and will last a long time.

I was very pleased with the design and performance of this paring block. It certainly saves a lot of time making a jig.

Worked great

I intend to use the blocks as a guide to tidy up my mitres when making small boxes. I have had a go on a couple of trial pieces, it works pretty well. Now for a real test on an actual box with 8 mitres to tidy up.

These mitre paring blocks are essential if you with to create perfect mitred corners on your boxes.

Great product, way faster shipping than I expected, and very thoughtful packaging/case as well. Would highly recommend.

I could only wish that my hands & skills were as accurate as this tool... Maybe one day - with tons of practice...

These are a well thought out and nicely made set of jigs to help you cleanly and precisely cut in your dovetails.

Brilliant product I had a wooden one which on thinner stock i had to over hang it on my work top, this is a game changer pick the right size clamp ,boom done perfect.

The blocks are precise and stable enough to allow you to guide the chisels. I confirm that the shoulder (which is the main "improvement with respect to a self-made wood-block) is really helpfull. I got the whole set, and I am happy of having ordered it -althoughit is feasible to employ the blocks also for thichnesses for which they are not optimised.
Thank you Matt for helping us to improve our skills. (I am not necessarily referring to the blocks, but to all your activities in general... and if selling this aids/tools helps you in continuing to provide your teachings, please go ahead!!!)

Very useful, accurate and well made

Fast shipping, great packaging, terrific customer service (had to change my order after the payment), and last, but certainly not least, a great product. Couldnt be happier as a customer and a supporter of some young entrepreneurs in the woodworking space.
