Ceiling trim in sloped ceiling

[Byggare12]

Hi, I'm going to put up moldings in the apartment where there is a sloped ceiling, how do I get this angle, or is there a good way to saw?

Build or buy a "smygvinkel" and replicate the roof's angle.

...and set the saw to half the roof's angle.

If you have a bevel gauge, it's simple. Measure the angle, draw it on a piece of paper, and fold the drawn angle in half to determine how to cut on both pieces.

If you don't have a bevel gauge, you can still determine the angle by using a piece of paper to fold the angle and then folding the paper in half as above. It's a bit fiddly but it works well.

If you have a bevel gauge, it's simple. Measure the angle, trace it onto a piece of paper, and fold the traced angle in half to figure out how to saw both pieces.

If you lack a bevel gauge, you can use paper to trace the angle and then fold the paper in half as above. A bit trickier but it works well

I managed to trace the angle onto a piece of paper but still don't understand how to cut the moldings to make it fit together...

Use the template with the angle you have obtained, lay the moldings slightly overlapping and mark the saw angle, i.e., where both moldings meet.

Measure the gap up there and remove half from each molding.

Here's another way to determine the saw angle from your figure.
