A miter joint is a type of joint used in woodworking and construction where two pieces of material are joined at an angle, typically 45 degrees. This creates a clean and aesthetically pleasing corner, often used in frames, moldings, and furniture. The angled cut allows the edges to meet seamlessly, enhancing the overall appearance of the project. To create a miter joint, woodworkers often use a tool called a miter saw, which makes precise angled cuts. Proper alignment and cutting techniques are essential for a strong joint. When glued or fastened correctly, miter joints can provide both strength and visual appeal in various applications.
