I absolutely HATE cutting non-standard angles that I dont' have a way to cut. What do I mean? I have some 1/4" thick stock at 3/4" wide and I need to cut a 63.5 degree angle on one end. This isn't a cut "1" piece and the deal is done.....I will have to cut 24 pieces with this angle on one end. This is for solid wood inlay that I am working on.
Question #1 is: How do YOU cut angles that are greater than say 45 degrees on small pieces?
Question #2 is: What is the "shop math" version of how to calculate the miter angle of a piece to be cut?
I have SIX diamond shaped (4 sides) inlays to do. 3" wide by 6" tall with 1/4" inlay.
One of these days, I have GOT to get good at this shop math stuff. Figuring angles have caused me more DAYS of cipherin' and material loss than I could ever count. I need Shop Math for Dummies......
