WHAT IT DOES

You’ll often see mitre joints on picture frames, they’re usually a 45 degree angled join to make a 90 degree angle (see 2nd picture).

Electric mitre saws have been available since the 1970’s and they allow you to do accurate angled cuts. A similar tool is a sliding mitre saw, this tool allows you to do angled cuts and it also allows you to cut material with more depth as the blade can be pulled and pushed on a rail.
