Summary: Learn how to use a mitre saw, cut angles in wood with a mitre saw and safety precautions when using a mitre saw.
Mitre saws are used for making angled cuts that are difficult to make accurately using other methods. A good example of a situation where an angled cut is required is for picture frames or skirting board. The mitred edges need to be perfect in order to be joined together properly.
A mitre saw is similar to a circular saw but allows the position of the saw to be moved allowing a cut that might normally be reserved for a mitre box and saw.
