In metalworking and woodworking, a jig is a type of custom-made tool used to control the location and/or motion of another tool.
A jig's primary purpose is to provide repeatability, accuracy, and interchangeability in the manufacturing of products.

Angle Between Surfaces Of A Pyramid / Polyhedron
A compound miter saw has a rotating vertical pivot allowing the cutter head & blade to be tilted (or beveled) sideways in addition to the horizontally rotating table.
This allows vertical & horizontal angled cuts as well as cuts angled in both planes, such as often required in crown molding.
Many compound miter saws are single action, meaning that they tilt only to one side of the vertical and not both sides.
Some compound miter saws are dual action, meaning they can tilt both ways.
Both saws can make identical cuts, but single action saws may require the workpiece to be flipped between cuts.
A sliding compound miter saw is a compound miter saw with horizontal sliding arms for the cutter head allowing cuts on much wider boards.
Sliding saws may also be single or dual action.
