I’ve had four of these Stanley 404 mitre clamps for well over a half-century and have occasionally used them freehand. Today, while making some sample frame corners, I noticed two countersunk holes for fastening the clamp to a surface and it sparked an idea.
An old method of fitting a mitre is kerfing. One of these mitre clamps is useful to hold the two pieces for kerfing.
After a kerf or two or three, the mitre misfits can be removed.
