ESSENTIAL JOINERY

FLAT 45° MITERS: A FRAME

A flat miter joint is a butt joint where each piece is mitered at an angle (usually 45°).

The most common and recognizable application for this is the classic picture frame.

You’ll also see flat miter joints in doors and other applications where a decorative

frame is required.

45° MITERS on TABLESAW Using MITER GAUGE

TOOLS

Square

Tablesaw

Miter gauge

1. Use a large accurate square

to calibrate the miter gauge,

making sure it is perfectly

perpendicular to the blade.

2. Set the miter gauge to 45°.

Most quality miter gauges will be

accurate at 45° as long as they

are calibrated correctly at 90°,

but we’ll double-check using test

pieces. Don’t forget to slide the

miter gauge as needed to keep it

out of the path of the blade.

3. Using a stop block on the

miter gauge, make a test cut on

two jointed and planed pieces

of scrap.
