Angle Cut Length Calculator
Find the length of a diagonal cut across a board and the distance between its short and long points.
Set up your calculation
An illustrative example is loaded. Replace its values with your measurements, costs or documented settings.
Calculation
Your result
- Diagonal cut length
- 8.485 in
- Long-point offset
- 6 in
The quote handoff carries your inputs and assumptions. Only an explicit base cost is suggested as a quote cost; prices, rates and measurements remain planning notes.
How it works
Cut length = width ÷ cos(miter angle). Long-point offset = width × tan(miter angle). A saw setting of 0° means a square crosscut.
- Width is measured across the board face, perpendicular to its long edges. This is a flat miter, with the blade upright.
- Use measured stock dimensions. Check a test piece before cutting the project stock.
