What should the mitre angle be? We are putting in beadboard for bay window with 4 corner of equal angles.?

Question

First correct answer, in my opinion, or with another answer that is well backed up, gets Best Answer

Bay window opens up to an otherwise rectangular room.

I know, get a life. Are you up to the challenge?

Answer 1

a pop out bay window starts and ends with 22.5 degree angles at both ends of all plates. overlap the top plate with a 45 degree angle to hold the sides together.

Answer 2

Unfortunately, so called 'right angle' corners can in fact be very much out of square, so that the mitre angle needs very often to be adjusted to match the actual corner. In addition to this, there are corners, which are not meant to be 90 degrees, so that these too will need to be measured to establish the unknown angle. Though at first this may appear to be a complicated process of measuring and bisecting, with much trial and error, the opposite is true, in fact, the whole process is quite simple and straight forward, with the need of very few, if any measuring tools to do the job

Answer 3

You have two 90 degree angles that are bisected to make four 45 degree angles. In order to make the 45 you need to bisect the angle for the two pieces to meet equally, which gives you a 22 1/2 degree angle.

Answer 4

45

Answer 5

You could get a bevel square and find the angle and then match it to the mitre saw and you should be on the money and there would be no guesswork at all. It will cost less that $10.00 and it is well worth the money.

Answer 6

The angles have to add up to 180 degrees, so 45 degrees each.

Answer 7

32 degree cut

Answer 8

90 degrees X4=360

it says quite clearly.... 4 equal corners... and it HAS to add up to 360 degrees...

Answer 9

45 ?

Answer 10

45 deg,
