A miter square or mitre square is a hand tool used in woodworking and metalworking for marking and checking angles other than 90°. Most miter squares are for marking and checking 45° angles and its supplementary angle, 135°. [1] [2] A miter is a bevelled edge – usually 45° – used, for example, for making miter joints for woodworking. [2]
[2] [3] In this roof-like [4] arrangement, mitre joint is usually used at the crown, thus the arch was in the past also called a mitre arch.
