# Ordering a mitre cut: which dimensions does the saw need? Quelle: > A clear sketch helps you avoid questions about the length, angle and orientation of your profiles. Profiles A clear sketch helps you avoid questions about the length, angle and orientation of your profiles. MVG editorial team · Values from our production and the material standards Published on 11 September 2026 · 1 min read Mitre cut: angles between 35° and 145° (sketch from our former website). We check on the order whether your angle and cross-section are feasible. ## Show the angle unambiguously Draw both profile ends and mark what the angle refers to. An angle to the longitudinal axis is not the same as a deviation from the square cut. A sketch showing the reference is clearer than an angle figure without comment. ## Long dimension, short dimension or axis dimension? A profile cut at an angle has edges of different lengths. Mark the edge your length dimension refers to. With two mitres, also show whether the cuts run parallel or in opposite directions. ## Add cross-section and orientation State the material, profile cross-section, wall thickness and quantity. For rectangular tubes and asymmetric profiles, it matters which side is at the top in the sketch. Mark parts of a frame that belong together. ## Request special cuts specifically Send the sketch with the details to MVG. Whether the desired angle and cross-section can be processed is checked on the specific order. A price for a straight standard cut does not automatically apply to mitre cutting. ## At a glance - Length reference marked - Angle reference drawn in - Left and right end shown - Material, cross-section and quantity stated [Request a mitre cut →](mailto:info@mvg-frankfurt.de?subject=Anfrage%20Gehrungszuschnitt) ## Matching products [configurator **Profiles cut to length** Straight cuts with instant price. *Configure a profile →*](https://mvg-frankfurt.de/online/profiles) ## Questions about your part?
