John Morris Posted October 7, 2017 Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 For the life of me I cannot duplicate this angle. Compound angle, at facia corner. I have the two dry rotted pieces to go off of, but I just can't get it right. Can someone please teach me how to arrive at the proper compound angle for this? Thanks Cal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred W. Hargis Jr Posted October 7, 2017 Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 Can you use the rotted boards to set your miter saw? Just rub the blade against the cut, adjust until it's the same angle. Otherwise it's 2 measurements with a protractor (a digital one would make this easy). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did that Fred, that was my first go too, don't have a protractor at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck it could be Bill, I have abused the heck out of that saw the last couple months, I had not thought of that. I'll have to check it, thanks!
