    “ The secant” or line length ratio. That is achieved by dividing the hypotenuse of the unit rises and unit run of the pitch (9/12) by 12 inches. So in this case, 15 inches divided by 12 equals 1-1/4. 1-1/4 x16” equals 20”. 20 is the common difference of the jacks.

    Generally, the first Jack dimension will be less than the common difference, because there is a deduction on the first one from centerline to side of hip or valley. The rest of the jacks don’t get the deduction.

    Because we want to get to the point on the outside of the boards where the king common rafter meets the hip rafter(lead edge). That is the point where the step-down math begins. From there the common difference is marked along the spine of the common rafter from the top down. Once completed, we measure up from the heal stand line to the marks to obtain the consecutive jack rafter lengths.

    Is this a standard hip roof, not a irregular? If so your offset will be the same as the additional 6”. Your plate will raise on the side where the difference is unless the rafter depths are different.

    What do you mean multiply 16 by the factor?

  • @roofcuttingandstacking7925
    @roofcuttingandstacking7925 Жыл бұрын

    Technically called the secant of the common rafter. The secant is obtained by using the square root method of the unit rises to determine the hypotenuse, then dividing it by 12. So if it was a 6/12 pitch it would be: 6 squared plus 12 squared equal, then push the square root button and divide the answer by 12 to put it in inches. That would look like 36+ 144= 180, the square root of which is 13.416. Divided by 12=1,118

  • @roofcuttingandstacking7925
    @roofcuttingandstacking7925 Жыл бұрын

    Technically, it is 30°. But why I said it is because traditionally a lot of guys would back the hip/valley the same as the angle of the hip/ valley in elevation. That really is only effective under about an 812 though. There’s about four other methods, but I find that the fastest is just to use a scrap of wood and use the rise run ratio to calculate the angle on the Skil saw.
