So when i use a 45 lock miter, how do i cut for length? If iam making a 48" by 24" box how long do I cut my material? Do i add a inch and a half to the total length of both the long board and the short side?

Mark - are your dimensions inside or outside - you didn't specify. As Charles said above, if they are the outside dimensions, then the boards are cut to exact length because the corner is mitered - see this illustrationSo as it turns out you need to add a 1.5 inches to each board for the proper length, provided your using 3/4 board..
