Homonym: Miter (Hat)
A miter is a type of joint used in woodworking and carpentry, where two pieces of material are joined at an angle, typically 45 degrees. This technique is commonly used to create corners in frames, moldings, and other structures, providing a clean and finished appearance.
To cut a miter joint accurately, a tool called a miter saw is often used. This saw allows for precise angled cuts, making it easier to assemble pieces like picture frames or crown molding. Properly executed miter joints enhance both the strength and aesthetics of the finished product.
