To make a hexagon from 1"x1"x6' what would I have to cut the mitre too?

Answer 1

The above answer of 60 degress would be the inclusive angle at 6 places. Since you are performing a mitre cut, you will have to divide the angle by 2. The correct cutting angle on the end of each piece of wood would be 30 degrees

Answer 2

60 degrees.

All the way around (as in a circle) the hexagon is 360 degrees. A hexagon has 6 sides. 360 / 6 = 60 degrees.

Each piece should be 11 3/4" in length on the outside (actually slightly less for the kerf of the saw).

EDIT: Argghhh. That guy below is correct. I forgot to split the angle between the two pieces of wood. I hope you haven't cut any wood, yet. Give him 10 points.

Answer 3

*Is it square bar?
-30 degree is the cutting angle.
-12 pieces back to back.[30deg,60deg,90 deg-angles of a lengthwise triangle.]
-you will get inside and outside hexagon.[lengthwise]
-if u r cutting the length into 6 pieces, then it is a square section hexagon with 30 degree cutting angle.
