The Miter launches high velocity saw blades, tearing apart anyone unfortunate enough to be in their path.
The Miter is a saw blade launcher which is used by GrineerEviscerators. This weapon has a charge mechanic similar to the Paris, Paris Prime, Cernos, Dread, and Drakgoon; the disc must be charged in order to deal maximum damage. However, weaker uncharged shots can be fired in rapid succession as well.

Notes
A version of the Miter is used by Grineer Eviscerators. Their version fires blades rapidly.
The Miter has a non-static model; its discs rotate inside the weapon during charging, although the effect is barely visible to the user due to position of the gun.
A blade that has been shot can be found on the ground shortly after its third impact. After a few seconds it will disappear.
Any punch through added from mods affects uncharged and partially charged shots.
Tips
A fully charged round gains incredibly high Punch Through, making it effective against large groups, particularly Infested due to the high slashing damage.
This also makes it possible to hit a single enemy twice with one shot: shooting a charged round directly at an enemy in front of a wall will make the rebounded blade hit the enemy a second time.
Mods that affect fire rate also affect the charging time.
Although the Miter uses Sniper Ammo, a bug currently disallows the use of the Sniper Ammo Mutation mod and instead uses the Rifle Ammo Mutation mod, which strangely still functions properly.
The Miter blueprint in the rewards screen used to show as a Seer Blueprint (screenshot in the gallery). This has since been fixed.
Fully charged shots fired from the Miter do not have projectile width. Instead they behave like a bullet-sized projectile that bounces off the floor of the map. This means that often the player will see the saw blade visibly touch enemies, but not actually apply damage because the center of the blade didn't hit them. You'll be lucky to hit more than 2 or 3 infested with a single charged shot, even when they're packed together tightly.
Non-charged shots fired horizontally will hit weapon's own barrel and fizzle.
Trivia
The Miter vaguely resembles the Ripper from the Unreal series, a game Digital Extremes co-developed.
The Miters wielded by Eviscerators have a slightly faster rate of fire compared to the player-usable Miters.
A Miter saw is a type of power saw with a circular sawblade.
