3 results about "Miter joint" patented technology

A mitre joint (often miter in American English) is a joint made by a)cutting each of two parts to be joined, across the main surface, usually at a 45° angle, to form a corner, usually a 90° angle.b) it is called beveling when the angled cut is done on the side, although the resulting joint is still a mitre joint. For woodworking, a disadvantage of a mitre joint is its weakness, but it can be strengthened with a spline. There are two common variations of a splined mitre joint, one where the spline is long and runs the length of the mating surfaces and another where the spline is perpendicular to the joined edges.
