ESSENTIAL JOINERY
STANDING MITERS
A standing miter is a long miter joint, typically found in boxes and casework of all
kinds. These joints work the same whether you’re cutting a small jewelry box or a
large chest. You may see the cut itself referred to as a bevel cut.
1. Set up the tablesaw with
the miter gauge perfectly 90° to
the blade.
2. Tilt the blade to 45°
and confirm the angle with an
angle gauge.
3. Make bevel cuts on two
pieces of scrap to confirm
the setup.

4. Put the pieces end to end
to see how well they meet up. If
there are any gaps, an adjustment
should be made.
5. You can also test the setup by
doing a dry assembly of the joint
and confirming the two pieces
make a perfect 90° corner.
6. Cut the miters on the actual
workpieces with the help of a stop
block for consistency.
7. This example shows a
box. Bring all four pieces together
to confirm 90° corners.
