here is a pic. The triangular piece is what i replaced and would have loved to know how I could use my miter saw to make that miter rather than using my band saw to sand it to a guestimated 45 degrees I didn't do a perfect job sadly and i didn't have it perfectly flat so where the miter mostly lined up the piece was not parallel to the roof line. I had to raise the back of the piece up a hair to parallel the roof line and it in turned messed up the bottom of my miter gap so I had to caulk it.. The long edges are straight the shingles make it look like they aren't though.
Cut that angle before you cut the others. But, generally, sand paper, caulk and paint make me the trimmer I ain't.I had a piece of siding at the corner of my house that goes up the roof. The front edge was mitered. Given that there are no 90 degree angles on this I cannot just throw it in my miter saw and cut the miter. How does one go about something like this? As quick and very inaccurate workaround I used my bench mounted bandsaw and approximated 45 degrees but it's not the best or more accurate way to do this. Quick 3D rendering
Did the same long ago (crown and base). I cut the longest sections 1st and still managed to waste more than I expected. And this was using a simple miter box. Meanwhile, the posts above should get squared away (sorry, couldn't resist).
