corner joint

Where edges meet

A corner joint is a joint formed where two pieces meet at a corner, typically at a right angle.

In woodworking, corner joints include miters, dovetails, and box joints used to construct frames and boxes.

In welding, a corner joint joins two metal pieces positioned to form an L-shape.

The cabinet's corner joints were reinforced with glue blocks.
