A miter cut is a type of cut made at an angle, typically 45 degrees, to create a joint between two pieces of material, such as wood or molding. This technique is commonly used in carpentry and woodworking to form corners, like in picture frames or door frames, providing a clean and professional appearance. To make a miter cut, a tool called a miter saw is often used, which allows for precise angled cuts. The miter cut can also be achieved with a hand saw and a miter box, ensuring accuracy in the angle. Proper measurement and alignment are essential for a successful miter joint.
