Measurement Tips
A practical tip for measuring length c in a corner: use a straight object (like a stick or ruler) of a known length. Position it within the corner and measure the distances a and b from the corner to the ends of the object. This method simplifies obtaining the third side measurement for the calculator.
Example Calculations
Using the default values from the calculator:
- For
a = 33.5,b = 40, andc = 39.1, the calculated Miter Saw Angle is 26.4°. - For
a = 33.5,b = 4, andc = 62.6, the calculated Miter Saw Angle is -26.5°. The negative sign indicates the cut should be made on the opposite side of the saw compared to the first example.
