What Wikipedia says

A miter box or mitre box (British English) is a wood working appliance used to guide a hand saw for making precise cuts, usually 45° miter cuts. Traditional miter boxes are simple in construction and made of wood, while adjustable miter boxes are made of metal and can be adjusted for cutting any angle from 45° to 90°.
