A mitre saw is for cutting mitres in wood or metal.
A mitre saw can be a hand saw that simply cuts the angle. In this respect it would go back to the dawn of civilisation. Hand saws were used by joiners and cabinetmakers for cutting mitres via simple home made mitre boxes. Think about Antique furniture.
With the advent of machinery many early circular saws had the capacity to cut mitres via sliding tables.
The radial arm saw was invented by De Walt around 1925. These were and still are capable of very accurate mitre cutting and some of them also can do compound mitres.
