A device for precision mitering or cutting linear framing material to specified lengths suitable for framing different size openings, e.g., a painting having a length of 40 inches and a width of 20 inches. The device includes structure for facilitating compound mitering or more specifically for properly aligning and holding while severing the generally recognized standard framing material, i.e., the painting being framed is supported close to the wall with the major plane of the frame being directed outwardly from the wall and/or the surface of the painting, and the less popular or reverse framing material, i.e., the painting being framed is usually supported a greater distance from the wall with the major plane of the frame being directed inwardly toward the wall from the surface of the painting. The holding structure clampingly holds two pieces of framing material simultaneously so that the one end of opposite sides of the frame, e.g., the two 40 inch pieces may be simultaneously mitered with one pass of the severing means and the other end of the two 40 inch sides may be mitered with a second pass of the severing means then the two 20 inch sides are likewise mitered resulting in precision fitted joints at the corners of the frame. The device also includes drill guide structure for accurately guiding a drill while a dowel pin hole is drilled into the severed butt end of the pieces of framing material. The accurately placed dowel pin greatly simplifies the task of rigidly joining the adjacent sides to a precision fit.
