When it comes to achieving precise miter joints, selecting the optimal hand saw is essential. A miter joint is a woodworking technique that joins two pieces of material at a 45-degree angle, commonly used in picture frames, crown molding, and cabinetry. The precision of a miter saw directly impacts the joint’s strength and overall aesthetic appeal.
Among the various hand saws available, the Japanese-style pull saw stands out as the ideal choice for cutting miter joints. Unlike Western-style saws that cut on the push stroke, Japanese pull saws utilize a thin, rigid blade that cuts on the pull stroke. This unique design offers several advantages for miter cutting.
