What's the difference? Let's get after it. Let's start simple. My miter and bevel are both set to zero. This is a cross cut. You'd use this anytime you're simply cutting something to length. A miter cut is when I rotate my blade left or right and my blade stays straight up and down. Now I'm going to rotate the saw to 45°. That's a miter cut. Miters are really common anytime you're creating corners.
