I need to lay out a template drawing, about 2 ft square.
One of the angles in the drawing is 5 degrees past 90.
I have some very basic plastic protractors.
I have a mitre saw, but there is no stop at 5 degrees.
I have a reasonably good mitre fence for the bandsaw / router table / table saw.
But at that small an angle its all about how good I can guess the lines, and it seems I'm not such a good guesser.
Is there a way to calculate that 5 degree line, so I can just use a compass / rule / or something as basic?
It needs to accurate to within a fine pencil line over a 20 " distance.
