This topic has been discussed at length...try going to
http://groups.google.com/ and searching for "miter trimmer" (with
the quotes). That will bring up several hundred hits. I suspect
that ONE of them is material I contributed, discussing my clone
miter trimmer.
In short...If one is going to be doing a lot of picture
framing and other smallish things with miter joints - get one.
The "real" Lion may well be the best. I get very adequate
performance out of my Grizzly Industrial Clone (and it only
cost me $75.00 or so).
As with all tools, it has a learning curve to get it
working "right", and, one REALLY has to keep the blades
Scary Sharp. But, man...it is one honking good tool for
making glass-smooth, accurate miters and allowing one to sneak
up to a perfect fit.

Ther was a review of these a while back in Fine Woodworking. They said to
forget the imports and go for the real thing.
