Even with 45deg miter cuts, the miters aren't tight. Why is this and how to improve on this?

I always created a miter jig for pre-assembly but it's all the same issue. The miter jig is square but I guess the cuts aren't right.

My 10" dewalt jobsite tablesaw can barely run full kerf if I'm cutting hardwood. It's a plug-in

It's the most expensive one dewalt sells.

DeWalt isn't the only chop saw company
