I need to cut four pieces of angle iron with angled cuts on the ends. They will be assembled into a square, with the legs of the angle iron welded together at the corners. They need to form a frame that will trap a square piece of material when welded together. Legs will all face toward the center of the square, with the sharp corner of the angle facing away from center.
It will be a compound cut that could be made on a bandsaw or chopsaw by clamping the angle at 45 degrees, then cutting at 45 degrees.
I need to mark the cut on each leg of the angle iron. Marking at 45 degrees makes the corner less than 90 degrees when assembled. Now I wish I'd have paid more attention in geometry class......................chim
