A miter saw is a versatile power tool that enables users to make precise cuts at various angles. It is ideal for creating angled cuts on materials like wood, plastic, and certain metals, making it indispensable in carpentry, cabinetry, and framing. The saw operates by pulling a mounted circular blade downward onto the workpiece, typically set on a miter table that can be adjusted to different angles.

This saw is particularly useful for making bevel cuts and compound cuts, where both bevel and miter angles are combined. Sliding miter saws expand the cutting capacity, allowing users to cut wider boards by moving the blade across the workpiece. Miter saws are known for their accuracy and speed, making them ideal for framing corners, cutting trim, and any project requiring precision.
