	A [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miter_joint '''Mitre Joint'''] is created by cutting the joining pieces at 45 deg. They are essentially a '''[[Butt Joint]]''' and therefore quite weak but can be strengthened by reinforcement with '''[[Keys, Tongues and Slip Feathers\|Keys]]''' ''(i.e. thin pieces of veneer or similar set into sawn grooves)''.

This can be achieved ''off the saw'' if care is taken using a '''[[Tenon Saw]]''' and a '''[[Mitre Box]]''' for example.
