    What's Your Angle?

    A full circle contains 360 degrees. So, to make a closed


    construction out of straight pieces, the corner angles must add
    up to 360 degrees. In the simple figure with six equal-length
    sides shown in the Corner and Miter Angle illustration below, the
    six 60 degree corners add up to 360 degrees.

    But, as shown, 60 degrees is not the angle you need to cut on


    the ends of each piece. Because two sides come together to
    make the angle, each side must be miter-cut to exactly half the
    total corner angle, or 30 degrees.

    Here's the rule for finding the angle: To determine the corner
    angle for a figure with any number of equal-length sides, divide
    360 degrees by the number of sides. To find the miter angle,
    divide the corner angle by two.
    How Big Will It Be?
    To figure out the measurement across the assembled
    construction, shown as D1 in the Assembled Size illustration,
    multiply the side length (L) times the inside-diameter factor for
    the appropriate number of sides from the chart below. This
    dimension, which is the diameter of the largest circle that can be
    drawn inside the outline of the glue-up, also represents the
    diameter of the largest round piece that could be sawn or turned
    from the assembled ring.

    You can calculate the width across the points, shown as D2, by
    multiplying the side length times the outside-diameter factor.
    And if you need to know the diameter of the opening in a ring,
    shown as D3, just multiply the length of the short edge of the
    segment (IL) by the appropriate inside-diameter factor.

    You can work backwards, too, to find the stave length required to
    produce a given diameter. In this case, divide the desired
    diameter by the factor from the chart. To find, for instance, the
    side length for a hexagon that measures 24" across (D1), divide
    24" by the inside-diameter factor (1.73205). Doing this gives us
    13.85641", or 13-55/64".
