Need help figuring out how to find staircase angle
I have a nice piece of oak that I stained and want to nail here before installing a stair railing, newel post, and pockets. My problem is nobody has ever really taught me how to calculate the angles of my cut so they match up equally. I tried at 45 and 45 but that was obviously wrong. Tried 22.5 and 22.5 and it's short. In the photo my test piece is cut at 38 and 38 (this is the angle my digital angle finder shows on the piece. What do the pros do to calculate this to make it near perfect? submitted by /u/w4rrior_eh [link] [comments]
