How to saw this correctly? (Angles)

[Mjärn]

Sawed at 45 degrees. But it doesn't fit. What do you do?

 

[AXS]

Hold the too-long board on the outside of the rule as you want it to sit. Then draw from the inside and cut along the lines.

What angle should it be positioned at?

 

[Larsa]

If the "hole" is not completely square, there will be other angles.

As mentioned, saw a slightly longer plank and mark/scribe

Aah ok I can test that!

Your two different 45-degree cuts don't have equally long sides.

Your two different 45-degree cuts don't have sides of equal length.

Ah I know it didn't turn out so well haha.

Brilliant. Thanks for the help!

But you did it right since the fyrkant is not square but rectangular. You couldn't see that in the first photo.

This is probably the picture after he got help and redid it
