Calculating the angle

[JCLP]

I'm working on a custon range hood that has the front face at 12 degrees and the 2 sides at 12 degrees as well The back against the wall is 90. How do I calculate the angle where the side and front panels would meet. I need to set my TS55 to the correct angle. Hopefully this makes sense.
Thanks.

I get 44.367 degrees on the saw with a 8.454 degree taper.

12º from vertical or horizontal?

If you have the BuildCalc app, input the angle tap pitch, tap hip/valley, use the purlin angles.

Thanks for the info and the link. Setting the track saw to that angle could be difficult. I'll try it and see what happens.
Cheers.

Well here is the range hood so far. Creating a couple of panels for the sides and then ready for the paint shop.

Looks very nice.  Did you just SWAG the angle on the TS55?  Thanks for sharing the pic.  Bill

I get different numbers when I use that calculator.  When you get a chance could explain what inputs you used?  Thanks very much.  Chris
