Abstract
A miter apparatus is for making beveled cuts in a workpiece such as a board or the like. A base defines a seat for placing against an edge of the workpiece, and a guide member is pivotably attached to the base for adjustment to any desired angle of a beveled cut. Side surfaces of the guide member provide a bearing surface against which one side of a conventional handsaw may move to guide the saw while cutting the workpiece at the desired angle. A knob selectably secures the to guide member the base, and a surface on the knob provides an additional bearing surface for guiding the saw.
