Cutting is a fundamental process that is critical to the success of just about any project you’re likely to undertake in your workshop. It’s essentially a three-part task: laying out the cutting line; setting up for the cut; and executing the cut.
Setting up involves choosing the best tool and blade for the job, then adjusting the tool or position of the workpiece to ensure an accurate cut.
There are really only two ways of cutting:
Either you apply a tool to the workpiece (as with most portable and hand tools), or you apply the workpiece to the tool (as with table saws and other tools where the cutting instrument remains in one spot throughout the cut).
When applying the tool to the workpiece, use a combination of straightedges, cutting guides and clamps to achieve accurate cuts. When applying the workpiece to the tool, you normally rely on the built-in fences and scales of the tool to guide the cut.
The basic types of cut undertaken in workshops include:
Cross-cutting (making a straight cut across the grain of a board)
Rip-cutting (reducing the width of a board by cutting it lengthwise with the grain);
Miter-cutting (cross-cutting at an angle with the saw blade perpendicu1ar to the workpiece)
Bevel-cutting (making a nonperpendicular cut).

Compound bevel miter cut is the same as compound miter cut.
Cross-cut can also be spelled crosscut but I believe that spelling is more commonly used as the name of a saw that does cross cuts.
