mitre saw
Precise angle cutter
A mitre saw is a power tool designed for making accurate crosscuts and angled cuts in wood, consisting of a circular blade mounted on a pivoting arm that swings down onto the workpiece.
The saw's base includes a fence and a rotating table that allows the blade to be set at precise angles, making it essential for cutting picture frames, crown moulding, and door frames where pieces must join at corners.
Set the mitre saw to 45 degrees for the corner joints.
