Now that I broke the ice and getting more and more excited about this box making adventure, I have been mulling over my shop tooling while waiting for my additional tool orders to arrive. Perhaps y'all won't mind if I bug you with a question or 2 along the way.
I have a fairly nice power miter saw mounted to a folding/rolling stand that works out very well. It is big and somewhat heavy, but I do like to try to do my cutting outside the shop to keep the dust down. Due to the effort of taking it out and getting it set up, I have many times found myself putting off a project, especially if the weather is not good or I have only one little cut to make. I have been giving some thought to getting a hand miter saw like this one to use when the situatiion does not justify dragging out the big daddy.

Do any of you use a hand miter saw? Will they make a good enough cut for box making? What advice or tips if any can you offer on using one of these? The Nobex seems like a well known name among neanders, but is there another one I should look at for box making instead.
Thanks for allowing me to question you folks and thanks for any help you can offer.
