What is the miter square?

Miter Stretch is one of several types of squares. This tool has an angle designation to form a miter joint. Miter joint is a corner joint, usually made by adjacent two ends that are 45 ° at angles. In general, woodcatters use miter squares, but can be used in any procedure where the worker needs to measure the angle. Some mites squares only measure an angle of 45 °, while others are adjustable for other angle measurements. A common example is the image frame. Some unfolded joints must be at different angles such as a hexagon in the shape of a picture. Adjustable square mowing is useful for accurate lining measurement for projects where angles may not be a perfect 45 °. An example of this is older houses where the walls are not flawlessly square.

Person to use a solid square with an area of ​​45 ° by placing a straight edge against the long side of the plate and then marking the plate along the angle edge of the squarece. Many squares have a fence or protruding edge that firmly puts a square against the plate. Adjustable miter squares have a shoulder that turns to the desired angle. The person holds a straight edge along the plate like a solid miter square and turns the oblique edge to the grade of the desired angle. For example, if a person wants an angle of 65 °, 65 marks align the board; The resulting angle will be 65 °.

Manufacturers sometimes combine miter squares with framing squares, try squares or conventional squares for efficiency. They are made of steel and aluminum alloys, wood and other materials. The best squares are made of the strongest materials because it is less likely to deform and lose accuracy. Precise measurement helps to ensure a stricter joint.

Some companies offer FLOBSQUARE MITER, which is conveniently portable. When purchasing a folding square, the buyer should check whether to hold the angle tightly or to slip. It is important to have accurate measurements, otherwise it will suffer KVAlita project.

The Japanese miter square looks like an image frame for off-kilter. This square -like box has 45 ° angles at both ends. Woodcraft use it to set the saw to lower the angles of 45 °. The square has no gradation marks because it is only 45 °.
