Basic angle question: Interior vs miter?

Hope all is well Brent. 
Quick (basic) question on mitering angles. 

I am going to be setting up my new milling machine to start cutting tubes! 

Looking at my design it appears there are two angles given...miter angle and interior angle. 

Ex:

Top Tube Rear Miter angle: 165.9˚

Top Tube-Seat Tube interior angle: 75.9˚

Whats the difference between the measurements?

To me (based on the visual picture) it seems that I would set up my mill (the vise has a graduated swivel) to the Top Tube-Seat Tube Interior angle. 

Thanks for any guidance and sorry for the basic question.

Interior and miter angles

This is a good question and one I've been meaning to post an explanation for in the FAQ. I've just done that now. You can read the explanation at: bikecad.ca/interior_vs_miter_angles.

Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply! The detailed and visual response was very helpful. Hope you have a great time in Charlotte. Travis
