Input Variables

Works for any Roof Eave Angle with equal or unequal rafter slope angles.

Roof Eave Angle
SS = Main Rafter Slope Angle
S = Adjacent Rafter Slope Angle

DD = Main Plan Angle
D = Adjacent Plan Angle

R1 = Hip Rafter Slope Angle
C5m Main Hip Rafter Backing Angle
C5a Adjacent Hip Rafter Backing Angle
Valley Sleeper Saw Blade Bevel Angle = 90° - (C5m + C5a)

P2m = Main Jack Rafter Side Cut Angle
90° - P2m = Main Roof Sheathing Angle
P2a = Adjacent Jack Rafter Side Cut Angle
90° - P2a = Adjacent Roof Sheathing Angle
