45 or 135, depends which way you pass through the saw. So 45 deg. The drw still mkes a triangle when you move the 382mm up to the 470 sides. The back corner is 90 deg. A triangle has 180 deg. The remaining 90/2 = 45.. ------------- Billy Dawg. |

wont be 2x 45 degree angles as the two long sides are not equal.... ie 430 and 470 however I'll be damned if I can remember how to work it out exactly but I'm sure there's some trigonometry required and I'm far to long out of school for this one... sorry  ------------- happiness is a ticked off list |

don't quite know how you did it but sounds good, better than 2x 45 degree  ------------- happiness is a ticked off list |

what i gave you is the angles between the 2 lines, the 180mm line, and the 382. when it comes to cutting wood, pick something doable on the saw, and good to join up... did it in cad quickly... |

No mate. I'm just used to Google Sketchup.
It don't half help when your checking measurements. ;-)

Just looked at this with my glasses on! Oooh, eck. There are two sides of the Pentagon different! From a constuction point of view why the heck make hard work. Make both the subs same. A pentagon has 540 deg internal. Therefore; 90+90+90= 270. 540 - 270 =270. Therfore 270/2 = 135 or 45 on a saw bench. However the substrates are different lengths and the Google sketch is correct. So to compose a completion.. 540 -270=270/2=135. Correct for a regular Pentagon (polygon) for this application where the subs are different the remainder of 270 deg is divided into 2 different angles. From Cravings and Jez cheating Google sketch 270- 49.2-40.8=180. Flip the timber over 180 and that is nulled. So External cuts= 49.2 and 48.8 deg. WTF!. Just cut it at = lengths, have a beer and enjoy a simple life.

If I cut it at equal lengths it wouldn't be a floor wedge then would it ------------- one life - have fun! Force fusion pro audio |

A door wedge? it would be 45 deg. Many are at 45. EAW for example have 45, 30 etc. It's quite steep as it is at 40 deg. ------------- Billy Dawg. |

right then, seems im going to have a go at this then. would this cut list be right ?? baffle = 434 x 714 bottom = 470 x 430 top= 470 x 430 left side 430 x 714 then the smaller angled from right to left 1 = 180 x714 2 = 418 x 714 3 = 162 x 714 i know there sa few angles and the top and bottom will need cutting to shape, but am i right with these cut sizes? ------------- one life - have fun!
