Miter joint

A miter joint is a type of joint used in woodwork and carpentry where two pieces of material are joined at an angle, typically at a 45-degree angle, to form a corner. This joint is commonly used in picture frames, cabinetry, and moldings, providing a clean, aesthetically pleasing look without exposed end grain. To create a miter joint, each piece of material is cut at a complementary angle so that when they are brought together, they form a straight edge.
