Saw Blade Bevel Angle

Formulas for the Saw Blade Bevel Angle, depending on what angles you know or what the direction of saw travel is.

Saw Blade Bevel Angle From Miter Line Side = arctan(cos(Miter Angle) ÷ tan(Bevel Angle on Stick)
Saw Blade Bevel Angle From Miter Line Side = arctan(cos(33.69007°) ÷ tan(39.76216°) = 45.00°

Saw Blade Bevel Angle From Miter Line Side = arctan(sin(Miter Angle on Stick) ÷ tan(Bevel Angle on Stick)
Saw Blade Bevel Angle From Miter Line Side = arctan(sin(56.30993°) ÷ tan(39.76216°) = 45.00°

Saw Blade Bevel Angle From Bevel Line Side =arctan(sin(Bevel Angle on Stick) ÷ tan(Miter Angle on Stick)
Saw Blade Bevel Angle From Miter Line Side = arctan(sin(39.76216°) ÷ tan(56.30993°) = 23.09347°

Saw Blade Bevel Angle From Bevel Line Side =arctan(cos(Bevel Angle) ÷ tan(Miter Angle on Stick)
Saw Blade Bevel Angle From Miter Line Side = arctan(cos(50.23784°) ÷ tan(56.30993°) = 23.09347°

Online Saw Blade Bevel Angle Calculator

Intersection of vertical plumb plane following the eave line and the vertical plumb plane of the hip rafter . The saw blade bevel angle is the intersection of these two planes for jack rafters head cuts and hip rafter head cuts.

Roof Eave Angle = 90.00000

SS = Main Rafter Slope Angle = 36.86990

S = Adjacent Rafter Slope Angle = 45.00000

DD = Main Plan Angle = 53.13010

D = Adjacent Plan Angle = 36.86990

Saw Blade Bevel Angle = arctan(sin(45.00°) ÷ tan(43.31386°) = 36.8699° = Plan Angle for Plumb Hip Rafters

Rake Crown Molding Saw Blade Bevel Angle Problem

I still need to calculate the saw blade bevel angles. I can calculate the dihedral angle, but not the saw blade bevel angles.

Face angle a = 52.07865
Face angle b = 86.60217
Face angle c = 90
Dihedral angle = arccos((cos(c) - cos(a) * cos(b))/ (sin(a)*sin(b)) = C = 92.65123°
Dihedral angle = arccos((cos(a) - cos(b) * cos(c))/ (sin(c)*sin(b))=A = 52°
Dihedral angle = arccos((cos(b) - cos(a) * cos(c))/ (sin(a)*sin(c))=B =85.69117°

Dihedral angle = arccos((cos(90) - cos(52.07865) * cos(86.60217))/ (sin(52.07865)*sin(86.60217))= 92.65123°

Eave side
Miter Angle on Stick  = 52.07865°
Saw Blade Bevel Angle = 37.01689

Rake side
Miter Angle on Stick =86.60217°
Saw Blade Bevel Angle = 50.33188

Now, it looks like the Saw Blade Bevel angles are

Eave side

Miter Angle on Stick  = 52.07865°

Saw Blade Bevel Angle =38.18968°

Rake side
Miter Angle on Stick =86.60217°
Saw Blade Bevel Angle = 49.15886°

Roof Eave Angle = 54.53879

SS = Main Rafter Slope Angle = 46.62978

S = Adjacent Rafter Slope Angle = 55.15376

DD = Main Plan Angle = 31.73219

D = Adjacent Plan Angle = 22.80660

R1 = Hip Rafter Slope Angle = 29.10711.... This the only variable we know.

C5m Main Hip Rafter Backing Angle = 38.18968

C5a Adjacent Hip Rafter Backing Angle = 49.15886

Valley Sleeper Saw Blade Bevel Angle = 90° - (C5m + C5a) = 2.65146

Dihedral = 92.65146

P2m = Main Jack Rafter Side Cut Angle = 47.99665

90° - P2m = Main Roof Sheathing Angle = 42.00335

P2a = Adjacent Jack Rafter Side Cut Angle = 53.64927

90° - P2a = Adjacent Roof Sheathing Angle = 36.35073
