That \"square\" corner might actually be 87°, and crunching numbers on the floor at midnight won’t close the gap. MiterMate™ is a 2-in-1 jig that captures your true wall angle and guides your hand saw through matching cuts on both trim pieces — so the joint fits tight on the very first try. No protractors. No half-angle calculations.
