@joshcarter7108

Actually you just set the lip of the square on the board and the plumb line will indicate the pitch/angle. That way u can set it and let it settle without in-accurately representing the angle by trying to line the line up with the edge of the square. With your method you’re also making a line of sight reading with the board edge which changes with your vantage point rather then reading the line right against the square…. but you were close
@raphaeldonovan781
8 ай бұрын
Not quite, your method will show a level cut not a plumb cut. His method will show an actual pitch, I like to use a torpedo level in the same way he is doing it, but if you want to find the actual pitch or hip/val he is doing right. But either or it's pretty easy to convert the two ways.

Joshcarter is correct, the plumb line will indicate 49° on this example
@raphaeldonovan781
8 ай бұрын
Maybe I'm misunderstanding what Josh is trying to say, but if I read it right he is saying to set the lip of the square directly on the board and let the plumb line show you the angle, which is right if you are looking for a level cut and not a pitch. A square held level off of the pivot will give you pitch, For example let's say that you are working with a 5/12 pitch which is around 22.5 degrees and you held your lip against the edge of your board, then your plumb line would read 68° Which would be a level cut, But I guess it all depends on what works best for you. Heck back when I started we learned from a framing square, we had to get our rise and run right. Speed squares definitely simplify the process, they even put nice little scribe marks for you.

@johndavidjudeii

Correct me if I am wrong, but isnt the angle of the brace actually 41°. Just lay your flat edge down on the board and the plumb line would literally fall over the marking on the square. You're making it too hard on yourself. Or you could do it your way and just subtract by 90. This is happening because your numbers are starting at the "top" of the square and not at the bottom. If you were to cut and end and it butt up below the brace horizontally your end would need to be 41° and for a similar horizontal board on top it would be 49°.

You were taught this in high school geometry, at least given the tools to figure it out. But then it became popular to denigrate education, so no one remembers. I once blew the minds of some people when I bisected a angle with a stake and twine to chalk a baseball diamond.
@hilltaylor18

Only thing you have to remember is what angle yore measuring. In this case, the angle between the cross brace and the top plate is 49 degrees. The angle on the other side, between the brace and the bottom plate is 41 degrees (90-49). Doesnt matter if you always work from the same side, but if youre communicating the angle to somebody you gotta make sure they're on the same page.
