When it comes to woodworking, metalworking, or any DIY job that needs cutting materials at exact angles, you need precision. Whether you’re framing a picture, installing crown molding or building a hexagonal table, getting the angles right can make or break your work. This is where the Angle Cut Calculator can help! This tool makes it easy to measure the correct за adjusting the miter angle and bevel angle for cutting so it will fit perfectly.

Formulas Used in the Calculator

1. Miter Angle Formula

The miter angle is calculated differently depending on whether you're working with a standard joint or a polygonal shape.

For Standard Joints:

$\text{Miter Angle} = \frac{\text{Joint Angle}}{2}$

For Polygonal Shapes:

$\text{Miter Angle} = \frac{180° - \left(\frac{360°}{\text{Number of Sides}}\right)}{2}$

2. Bevel Angle Formula

The bevel angle is calculated using the material thickness and the blade angle (if provided).

$\text{Bevel Angle} = \arctan\left(\frac{\text{Material Thickness}}{\text{Blade Angle}}\right) \times \left(\frac{180}{\pi}\right)$

Example Calculations

Example 1: Miter Cut for a Standard Corner

Input:

• Type of Cut: Miter
• Joint Angle: 90°
• Number of Sides: (Not applicable)

Calculation:

$\text{Miter Angle} = \frac{90^\circ}{2} = 45^\circ$

Output:

• Miter Angle: 45°
• Bevel Angle: 0°
• Cutting Instructions: "Set the miter angle to 45° and make the cut."

Example 2: Miter Cut for a Hexagonal Frame

Input:

• Type of Cut: Miter
• Joint Angle: (Not applicable)
• Number of Sides: 6

Calculation:

$\text{Miter Angle} = \frac{180^\circ - \left(\frac{360^\circ}{6} \right)}{2} = \frac{180^\circ - 60^\circ}{2} = 60$

Output:

• Miter Angle: 60°
• Bevel Angle: 0°
• Cutting Instructions: "Set the miter angle to 60° and make the cut."

Example 3: Compound Cut for Crown Molding

Input:

• Type of Cut: Compound
• Joint Angle: 90°
• Material Thickness: 0.75 inches
• Blade Angle: 45°

Calculation:

Miter Angle:

$\text{Miter Angle} = \frac{90^\circ}{2} = 45^\circ$

Bevel Angle:

$\text{Bevel Angle} = \arctan\left(\frac{45}{0.75}\right) \times \left(\frac{\pi}{180}\right) \approx 0.95^\circ$

Output:

• Miter Angle: 45°
• Bevel Angle: 0.95°
• Cutting Instructions: "Set the miter angle to 45° and the bevel angle to 0.95°."
