The Miter Saw is a versatile power tool that cuts both straight and curved cuts. This saw can be used in woodworking shops to do both straight and curved cuts. The process of making a Miter Joint is the same as with any other cut out of wood. The only difference is that the angle of the cut is not exact, because the miter slot is not a true ninety degree angle like the cut in wood. Because of this, the cut ends up a little off center.

To make a miter joint, you would start by holding two pieces of wood together with the edges slightly bent back against each other and your hands on both sides. Then you would cut a small sliver of the opposite side of the piece of wood, which would be the base for the new piece. Then, with your other hand, you would hold one edge of the new piece of wood against the base and carefully joint the two pieces. When a piece is perfectly square or as close to it as possible, you would finish by nailing the whole piece into place, usually using wood glue.
