Bevel Angle Calculator
Find the blade tilt needed for a specified lateral offset through a board’s thickness.
Set up your calculation
An illustrative example is loaded. Replace its values with your measurements, costs or documented settings.
Calculation
Your result
- Bevel from square
- 18.435 °
- Sloping cut length
- 0.791 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.
Method & assumptions
Bevel from square = atan(offset ÷ thickness). A vertical blade is 0° bevel.
- Offset is measured between the cut’s top and bottom edges, not along the sloping face.
- Use measured stock dimensions. Check a test piece before cutting the project stock.
