Woodward built even the case, assembling it with intricate but invisible secret mitre joints.

These sections have half-lapped mitre joints to the verticals, visible at the front of the panel.

By using a scribed joint rather than an internal mitre joint the effect of shrinkage is minimised.

The chain name references the mitre joint, but was inspired by the Mitre Tavern in Melbourne.

This method eliminates the need for mitre joints, face nailing, and the use of joints on 16-inch or 24-inch centres of conventional framing.

The mitre joint is the most popular method of adhering corners on a stretcher, although butt joints are also fine if used in conjunction with gussets.

A mason's mitre is a type of mitre joint, traditionally used in stonework or masonry but commonly seen in kitchen countertops.

The other method of fitting these mouldings that is commonly used is the mitre joint but this technique relies upon knowing the precise angle between the walls for neat results.

Mitre box (UK, Cda) or Miter box (US) - a box used for making mitre joints by having slots to guide a saw at the desired angle for the joint.

The mason's mitre allows the appearance of a mitre joint to be created with much less waste than occurs with a common mitre joint, in which triangular sections must be removed from the ends of both joint members.

The 45 angle is used commonly in creating miter joints.

It's a good idea to make this piece slightly long, about 1/4-inch, because you may find a gap in the miter joint.

"What I saw wasn't at the miter joint," the Senator said.

A disadvantage of a miter joint is its weakness, but it can be strengthened with a spline.

It is widely used to cut moldings to create coped rather than miter joints.

But achieving good-looking results is often easier, especially on uneven walls, because fewer miter joints are necessary.

To make a miter joint, each of the two pieces must be cut off at an angle that is exactly half that of the corner.

Miter clamps are designed to hold miter joints together.

Constructing a perfect miter joint.

Miter joint: Similar to a butt joint, but both pieces have been bevelled (usually at a 45 degree angle).

These holes should be at least eight inches apart, and at least four inches away from the miter joint.

As an alternative, miter joint frames, which may be identifiable by face-surface relief that follows continuously around the frame, have become popular.

On piece after piece, flawless dovetails, miter joints and book-matched grain patterns achieve transcendent beauty.

The saw can be adjusted to cut at any angle, and perfect miter joints can be fashioned in seconds, even for molding on unsquare walls.

The earliest miter clamps are a simple spring in a C-shape with sharpened points that are sprung onto the outside corner of the miter joint.

It is always possible to close a planar structure constructed with pieces having non-circular cross section into a loop through properly matched miter joints (e.g. a picture frame).

Creating professional-looking miter joints requires practice; however, by working patiently with appropriate tools, even beginners can produce excellent miter joints after only a few tries.

A jigsaw with a bevel function on the sole plate allows cutting angles of typically up to 45 degrees relative to the normal vertical stroke for cutting miter joints.

When employing the miter joint to connect two pieces that have a non-circular cross-section it is typically desirable to have the longitudinal edges of the joined pieces match up properly at the joint.

Design and construction of a bowl blank-the wood piece mounted on the lathe for turning a vessel-requires angled miter joints cut to tolerances of as little as a tenth of one degree or better.

A miter joint (mitre in British English), sometimes shortened to miter, is a joint made by beveling each of two parts to be joined, usually at a 45 angle, to form a corner, usually a 90 angle.

For miter joints occurring at angles other than 90 , for materials of the same cross-section the proper cut angle must be determined so that the two pieces to be joined meet flush (i.e. one piece's mitered end is not longer than the adjoining piece).
