Mitre Joint













Mitre Joint
This joint is used on corners. It is useful because it hides the end grain and also provides a larger gluing area. Like the butt joint it is weak unless the joint is strengthened. This is often done by cutting slots and gluing veneers in between. Mitres must be cut at 45O we use a mitre box for this purpose.
