Q

ACCORDING TO BOOK 29 CHAPTER 1 VENTILATION OPERATIONS, WHAT IS A 45° CUT…

A

A SERIES OF TWO CUTS. THE FIRST 45° CUT IS MADE WHILE FACING TOWARD OR AWAY FROM ANY EXTERIOR WALL. WHEN YOU HIT A RAFTER “STOP”. MAKE A SECOND CUT PARALLEL OR PERPENDICULAR TO THE EXTERIOR WALL. DETERMINES RAFTER DIRECTION ONLY.
