Well it depends on how much use it is going to get and what you are looking for. You can get a plastic guide box and saw for pretty cheap. If its going to be used a lot then splurge and get a skil or dewalt

One of the easiest ways to perfect your mitre cutting skills is to practice making picture frames with cheap woods like balsa or pine, or practice with crown moulding scraps. Once you've mastered a snug fit with those you'll be ready to move on to more difficult or expensive projects.

A beginner may find it easy to make a simple 45 degree angled cut as opposed to a compound cut which aims to match up with another angle. Using a mitre box would help to ensure accuracy since the various angles are labled. The mitre box will also increase safety when making this sort of cut.

Whether you are cutting crown molding, base trim, or window and door casing, a 90 degree mitre is the most commonly used mitre, especially when trimming around a square corner.
