mitre joint
Angled corner join
A mitre joint is a corner joint formed by cutting two pieces at matching angles—typically 45 degrees each—so they meet to form a right angle.
Common in picture frames, door casings, and crown molding: The carpenter checked that the mitre joints were tight before nailing the trim.
Also spelled miter joint.
